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 !

See the Lotus Evija in detail in this 23-minute video
Sun, Jul 21 2019Henry Catchpole splits his time as a contributor to Evo magazine with on-camera work for Carfection. The ever-gracious Englishmen took to the studio again recently to pore over the brand new Lotus Evija — and his first gift to us is the electric coupe's proper pronunciation: ee-VYE-yah. For a full 23 minutes, Catchpole tours the coming Lotus hypercar with Lotus' head designer Russell Carr. The two men sweep over the car from front to rear, Carr explaining the origins and details of the many shiny bits that attract Catchpole's eye. The spec sheet alone is attention-getting. A 70-kWh battery fuels a powertrain rated at 2,000 horsepower and 1,254 pound-feet of torque. All-wheel drive and torque vectoring are made possible by electric motors motors front and rear, but the setup is novel. A single drive unit on each axle combines a motor and inverter, but we're told each wheel gets its own gearbox. The package is a little shorter and wider than a Porsche 911, but sits seven inches lower than the roof of the German. Scales bend to the weight of 3,700 pounds in spite of magnesium center-lock wheels, that grandeur managed in part by six Multimatic spool-valve dampers, three on each axle. Just 130 Evijas will be produced, starting next year, each one starting at around $2.1 million. Lotus has filled the coupe with visual flourishes. The Lotus badge on the front is metal inlaid into the carbon fiber bodywork. Carr said he wasn't sure the engineers would be able to finalize that for production, but the designers are hoping. Fans inside the headlights keep the lumens cool, while movable DRLs and turn signals angled like the winglets on an airliner make the lumens look cool. Another neat lighting trick: The "T" in the word "Lotus" on the rear fascia acts as the reversing light. Two features we haven't yet seen on the latest batch of hypercars are adjustable seats, and a strip of metal in the headrests that can be etched the slogan of a customer's choice. And in spite of all the firsts for Lotus in this car, there's one holdover from the Hethel carmaker's other compact sports cars: A dearth of luggage space. The only cubbies are polygonal-shaped holes in the rear of the door sills. It doesn't sound so bad when Catchpole explains it, though, so check out the video.
Lotus introduces Certificate of Provenance program
Mon, Aug 10 2020Lotus is diving into its vast archives to make it easier for owners to trace their car's history. It launched a global program called Certificate of Provenance that provides historical information about a specific car. Available through authorized Lotus dealers, the Certificate of Provenance includes details like the car's VIN and its original color. It also notes the date the car rolled off the assembly line in Hethel, England, and the date it entered the company's dealer network. Key specifications, including the engine, the transmission, and the extra-cost options the original owner ordered, are printed on a personalized Build Specification Letter. Owners who order the certificate will also receive a letter from Lotus CEO Phil Popham in which he pledged to explain the changes going on at the company, and how it's preparing for the future. Summing up the situation in a letter will likely be easier said than done, because Lotus (which is now controlled by Geely) is undergoing a complete transformation that includes a major product expansion and a renewed focus on the American market. It called the Evija, its first electric model, a trailblazer whose technology will permeate other battery-powered cars.  Related: Geely, with Volvo's help, plans to grow into a global auto giant  In addition to the aforementioned documents, enthusiasts who order a Certificate of Provenance will also receive an aluminum plaque engraved with the owner's name, a leather keychain, a carbon fiber bookmark, and a Lotus pen. Pricing starts at GBP170 plus the cost of shipping in the United Kingdom, a sum that represents about $225. And any Lotus owner can order it regardless of whether they own a 1959 Elite or a 2020 Evora GT. The first car certified by Lotus is a 1981 Esprit Turbo (pictured) that stands out as the last company car ordered by company founder Colin Chapman. Wearing registration number UVF 464X, it remained in Chapman's possession until his death in 1982, and it was sold to a private buyer the following year. Lotus recently purchased it with 11,000 miles on its odometer, and it plans to restore it before adding it to its heritage collection. Chapman didn't settle for a regular-production Esprit Turbo. He ordered his car with power steering (which wasn't available on the Esprit at the time), a lowered suspension, and modified brakes. He also ordered BBS wheels. Related Video:
