2007 Lotus Exige S - 75000 Miles - Well Maintained Vegas Car - Financing Avail. on 2040-cars
We are selling another cool car from one of our good customers.... this 2007 LOTUS EXIGE S performs like a Go-Kart on steroids ... I never knew a 4 cylinder motor could be so fast, but it's Super-charged 220 Horse Power and that's why! and it's handles like it's on rails... unbelievable driving experience... what you give up in luxury creature comforts, you gain in spades with speed and performance...this is most likely the closest you can come to driving a Formula One car legally on the street.. and it gets 22 miles to the gallon as well... the only flaw we can find so far is the road rash on the front end from being driven so much and so fast on the gravelly sandy roads of the Las Vegas desert. The car has 75,000 miles since our owner loved to drive it so much , mostly as his daily driver.. PS - I hope you are flexible, because it's not the easiest car to climb in and out of.. but once you are inside and hit the Start Engine button.. IT'S AL WORTH IT !!!
Below are some basic stats about this model Lotus from Kelly Blue Book: Since the 1982 passing of its founder, Colin Chapman, Lotus has endured a number of economic challenges and ownership changes. But through it all, the quintessentially British marque has remained true to its core values of producing light, quick and superb handling sports machines. Presently, the micro-scaled Exige S coupe and its equally diminutive cousin, the lift-top Elise, carry on Chapman's legacy in the U.S. With more power and better handling than either the Elise or the Exige that it replaces for 2007, the new, supercharged Exige S is the best-performing street-legal Lotus you can buy here. While larger, heavier rivals span everything from a BMW Z4 and Porsche Cayman to the Chevrolet Corvette and Nissan 350Z, none really comes close to matching the sheer visceral involvement offered by this undisputed featherweight champ. You'll Like This Car If...If you're a hard-core enthusiast who'd be thrilled to drive a Formula One car to work everyday if it were street legal, the Exige S is a fantastic alternative—especially as a weekend getaway car. You won't be pampered, but you will be exhilarated every time you slip behind the wheel. You May Not Like This Car If...If you're not a hard-core enthusiast who's fully prepared to trade off just about every luxury convention in return for a vehicle with absolutely brilliant dynamics, steer clear of the Exige S. Those lacking the personal flexibility to negotiate its narrow door openings and wide side sills also should consider a more mainstream two-seat alternative. What's New for 2007The Exige S replaces the Exige here in America for 2007, a change that nets a supercharged engine with 30 more horsepower and an additional 27 pound-feet of torque, plus the formerly optional Sport Pack wheel/tire/suspension group. Lesser upgrades include new projector beam headlamps, subtle bumper reinforcements and raised chrome L-O-T-U-S letters on the rear fascia. Driving ItDriving ImpressionsTurn the key, press a button on the fob and then hit the starter on the dash and the Exige S snaps to life like the de facto street racer it is. Complementing its phenomenal balance and incredible control responses is a high-winding engine that sends an equally high-intensity exhaust note reverberating through the passenger compartment every time you step into the throttle. With only 37 percent of its 2,077 pounds on the front wheels, the car's unboosted steering feels intuitively connected through even the most demanding corner. Mastering the slightly notchy linkage on its manual gearbox does take some practice, but the payoff is acceleration that puts the Exige S in borderline supercar territory. On the braking side, its standard anti-lock brakes (ABS) and potent 11.5-inch vented and cross-drilled discs work impressively with the car's super-grippy tires to deliver short, straight stops with reassuring regularity. Favorite FeaturesAmazing Handling Spartan with style, the compact cabin of the Exige S displays lots of bare aluminum, exposed fasteners, hard-touch surfaces and a Momo sport wheel that leaves no doubt about its true purpose. The compact cockpit can accommodate six-footers—at least those supple enough to bend-and-fold their way in and out. Torso-hugging racing-style buckets lined with ProBax anatomical padding provide a decent range of fore and aft adjustment but, like the fixed steering column, require you to adapt to their preset seatback angle. The Exige does offer a few conventional creature comforts, notably an Alpine sound system and air conditioning, but its manually-adjusted mini side mirrors do little to enhance the already restricted sightlines. With only a tiny "trunklet" directly behind the engine bay, be prepared to always travel light. ExteriorThe Exige S shares the same composite-fiberglass body over bonded aluminum chassis structure as the Elise and the same Ardent Red and British Racing Green standard colors. However, its more sensual primary contours—augmented by a disconcertingly vulnerable front spoiler lip extension and a functional fixed rear wing—give this true-coupe variant superior high-speed downforce. A low-profile roof scoop feeds outside air directly to the intercooler for its supercharger, but the housing itself totally obstructs visibility out the rear window. Complementing this competition-inspired design are staggered-width (16-inch front/17-inch rear) forged-alloy wheels that mount Z-rated 195/50 Yokohama Advan A048LTS tires up front and 225/45s out back, and a large oval center exhaust outlet flanked by bold rear diffuser tunnels. Notable Standard EquipmentThe Exige S complements its high-performance supercharged powertrain with more powerful anti-lock brakes (ABS) and the more aggressively-tuned Sport Pack suspension that's optional on the Elise (lightweight forged alloy wheels, wider and stickier tires and stiffer suspension). In addition to its leather-wrapped Momo steering wheel and deeply contoured cloth-covered bucket seats, the driver-centric cabin adds several comfort and convenience touches, including a four-speaker Alpine audio system with single-slot CD player (and arguably the world's least user-friendly controls), air conditioning, intermittent windshield wipers, a factory anti-theft/immobilizer system with keyless remote locking and dual front airbags. Notable Optional EquipmentKey Exige S extras include the Touring Pack (leather upholstery, upgraded sound system, power windows, additional sound insulation and full carpeting), Track Pack (driver-adjustable Bilstein shock absorbers with remote front reservoirs and threaded front spring perches, five-way adjustable front anti-roll bar, rear chassis reinforcement and provisions for bolt-in seat harnesses), Lotus Traction Control,a limited-slip differential, deletion of the air conditioning that cuts weight by 20 pounds, Starshield clear protective film for the front and rear and 18 different Metallic or Lifestyle paint colors. For those who demand the ultimate thrill, Lotus also offers a 252-horsepower non-street-legal variant called the Sport Exige Cup 255. Under the HoodSitting amidships in the Exige S is a supercharged and intercooled version of the same Toyota-sourced DOHC 1.8-liter in-line four used in the Lotus Elise. Here too, this high-winding screamer is fitted with performance-enhancing Variable Valve Timing and Lift intelligence (VVTL-i), paired with a custom Lotus electronic control package, that together add a bit more kick to the engine's mid-range response. The critical boost comes from the addition of the force-feeding package that bumps output from 190 to 220 horsepower and raises torque from 134 to 165 pound-feet—with 80 percent of that twist available from just 2,000 rpm. Still matched with a close-ratio six-speed manual transmission, it can send the Exige S streaking from zero to 60 miles per hour in a claimed 4.1 seconds and give it a top speed of 148 mph. The Lotus Exige S has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $60,815. Currently buyers are paying just shy of that for their cars, but Fair Purchase Prices that represent actual consumer transaction prices can differ substantially, so click on the Fair Purchase Prices to compare. As with any low-production vehicle—and particularly one as purpose-built as the Exige S—residual values can vary widely depending on an individual vehicle's condition and mileage. However, its cult status, robust mechanicals and general maintenance costs that fall well below those of high-end super-exotics bode well for the price an Exige S in good shape should be able to command on the pre-owned market. Please note, I am a boutique classic car dealer in Nevada, so any Nevada residents who purchase this car to register in Nevada will need to pay a 8.1 % Nevada sales tax and a $99 documentation fee... but I have taken this into consideration in the great-value pricing of this car. Come to Vegas to party and drive home an incredible vehicle that is quite a lot of class, fun and quality for the money !

2020 Lotus Elise Classic Heritage Editions celebrate past race car liveries
Wed, May 6 2020For 2020, the Lotus Elise is getting a very limited edition. The Elise Classic Heritage Edition is a version that can be had in one of four liveries that reference past Lotus race cars. While the paint schemes are fitting tributes, the redundancy of having "Classic" and "Heritage" in the same name seem antithetical to Colin Chapman's philosophy of "simplify and add lightness." Name aside, the color schemes look good. Naturally, one of them is the famous black and gold of the John Player Special Lotus race cars. Others are less familiar, but still significant. Two of them highlight cars driven by famous racers. The blue, red and silver combo references the 1980 Lotus Type 81 driven by Mario Andretti, Nigel Mansell and Elio de Angelis. The red, white and gold version is for the 1968 Type 49B driven by Graham Hill. As for the blue and white car, it celebrates the first Lotus F1 car to win pole position and the race, the 1960 Type 18. The flashy paint is matched with equally flashy interiors. The upper door panels and other trim pieces are painted in coordinated colors, and the seat centers are finished in matching fabric. The one exception is the blue and white model that gets red seats. While the car is based on the 217-horsepower Elise 220, it gets features that are normally extra-cost on that car, including air conditioning, cruise control, a radio, carpeting and floor mats, two-piece brake rotors and forged wheels. Available as options are a hardtop, lithium-ion battery and titanium exhaust. All of these extra features, plus the colors and exclusivity help make the extra GBP6,350-pound upcharge worthwhile, which makes the car cost GBP46,250, or just over $57,000 at current exchange rates. Speaking of exclusivity, only 100 of these cars will be sold internationally. Lotus notes that the split between the different colors will be dependent on demand, so certain liveries could be rarer than others. Don't expect any of them to be offered in the U.S., though, since the Elise isn't available here at all. Related Video: Â Â
Bond in Motion car exhibit coming to L.A.'s Petersen Automotive Museum
Tue, Sep 14 2021The Petersen Automotive Museum was already a must-see for any car enthusiast visiting Los Angeles, and it's about to get a little better should you also be a James Bond fan. Opening Sept. 25 in the museum's appropriately named Grand Salon gallery will be the "Bond in Motion" exhibit of more than 30 cars, motorcycles, boats, submarines, helicopters and scale models used during the creation of the 24 official James Bond films. The timing corresponds with the Oct. 8 release of "No Time to Die," the upcoming 60th anniversary of the first Bond movie ... and hey, the release of our "All 24 James Bond movies ranked only by their cars." Highlights include many of the most famous Bond cars, including a 1977 Lotus Esprit S1 in submarine guise from "The Spy Who Loved Me," an Aston Martin V8 from "The Living Daylights," a 1999 BMW Z8 from "The World is Not Enough," the Aston Martin DB10 specially made for "Spectre," the post-flipped Aston Martin DBS from "Casino Royale," and one of the 1964 Aston Martin DB5s from the recent movies. I visited an exhibit of the same name back in 2013 at England's sensational Beaulieu Motor Museum. Although the one in L.A. won't be as comprehensive as that, simply due to logistics, many of the same vehicles and props will be present. You can see some of the photos from that exhibit below, and should you be a James Bond fan, can appreciate that it went much further than the Aston-heavy headliners above. In fact, it was hard to see what was missing from the collection. Tickets are on sale for the opening reception Sept. 23 featuring "one-night-only photo opportunities, live entertainment, food and martinis, shaken not stirred." Considering this is Los Angeles we're talking about, it's perfectly plausible this means noteworthy cast members from past films. Prices are $60 for general admission and $199 for VIP access, which includes exclusive access to the exhibit, "007 lounge" and a curated talk, plus complimentary food and a hosted bar. The exhibit runs until October 2022. AMC Hornet and Mercury Cougar XR7 View 22 Photos Â
This 450-hp electric Lotus Evora is powered by Tesla and Chevrolet
Tue, May 9 2017When someone mentions an electric Lotus, the first thing that comes to mind is the Tesla Roadster, the California-based automaker's first vehicle. That car started life as an Elise before being heavily massaged and adapted by Tesla's engineers. In a similar spirit, the people at Onpoint Dyno are close to finishing Blue Lightning, a track-ready all-electric Lotus Evora. Blue Lightning uses a Tesla drive unit and a Chevrolet Volt battery pack, both mounted in the middle in place of the Evora's 3.5-liter Toyota V6. It's putting down about 450 horsepower at the wheels. The car was built for time attack sessions, so power is fed through custom forged wheels and super sticky Pirelli PZero Trofeo R tires, the same ones found on the last Chevrolet Camaro Z/28. There is a custom digital instrument cluster in place of the Lotus gauges. There's also a regen paddle on the left side of the steering wheel. With a full charge, Blue Lighting should go about 120 miles. While the car runs under its own power, it's only about 90 percent complete. It has no power steering, no firewall in between the seats and the motor and battery pack, no A/C, and a large hole where the shift lever used to be. Other final touches include fine-tuning the brakes and suspension. There is also a custom rear bumper coming that should make it look more like the new Lotus Evora 400. Onpoint Dyno expects the car to hit the track in the next month or so. Related Video:
