Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States
|
Originally a Florida car, this brilliant example of an automotive icon has been in our family since 1999. It had continuous upkeep for the initial 6 years of ownership, then underwent controlled storage for the next 5 years. Mechanically restored by a Lotus specialist over the last 3 years, the car has provided wonderful entertainment in the form of a thrilling ride, an attention magnet, and always a labor of love. The racecar handling is the ultimate therapist, and the timeless design is one to fall in love with. Not for the casual driver: Just like the Formula 1 vehicles whose drive it emulates, those who know the vehicle know the projects that come with it. The most recent necessary project involves the fuel system, including expected need to recondition the fuel tanks and clean through the fuel system components that follow. The vehicle is sold in as is, non-running condition. The body and interior are acceptable for use but in need of reconditioning and eventually new paint (see pictures). From 10 feet away, the blemishes are minimal, and the vehicle is stunning. The car is without known accident damage and carries a clean title. This is a unique vehicle that requires special know-how to drive and to maintain. It is looking for an owner that can appreciate its timeless design, its collectability, and its engineering challenges. This special edition [Prolessa] has Pearl White paint, factory removable sun roof, and rear spoiler. Please feel free to call for additional details. Your inquiries will be answered by the very Lotus specialists who have maintained the vehicle and know it intimately. For the extensive upkeep recently completed, and full details, call 954-522-0070. |

Lotus spotted testing more extreme Elise on the Nordschleife
Tue, 19 Aug 2014If we had a nickel for every version of the Elise that Lotus has rolled out over the years, we might actually have enough spare change to buy one ourselves. And we're not even talking about the entire separate models (like the Exige and Europa) that Lotus has based on the Elise's platform or the other automakers' cars (like the Tesla Roadster and Hennessey Venom GT) that have used the same. And now Lotus appears to be testing another one.
Spotted lapping the Nürburgring, what we're looking at here appears to be the track-bound Elise S Cup R, but our intrepid paparazzi by the side of the track tell us it's missing the switches for the battery isolator and fire extinguisher. In their place, this Elise is wearing an even bigger rear wing as part of an altogether rather aggressive aero kit - not to mention a rockin' matte red wrap.
All of these telltales make us think Lotus has something extreme in the works, and we could find out what exactly it is as early as the Paris Motor Show in October, so stay tuned and watch this space.
Lotus slated to stop selling Evora in US
Mon, 22 Sep 2014It's been three years now since Lotus stopped selling the Elise and Exige in North America, leaving the Evora as its only model available Stateside. But according to the latest from Car and Driver, even that model is on its way out.
The problem reportedly comes down to air bags. Lotus was granted a temporary exemption from fitting the latest-generation smart airbags to the Evora, but that exemption is set to expire at the end of the year. And once it does, Lotus apparently has no intention of developing and fitting the proper equipment to allow it to continue selling the Evora in the United States.
Once the Evora is gone from our market, Lotus will be reduced to selling only track-bound versions of the Elise and Exige in the US, so the prospect of actually buying a new Lotus and driving off the dealer lot will vanish into thin air.
Lotus opens the 2013 Formula One season with the launch of the E21 [w/video]
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Lotus has broken the seal on the 2013 Formula One season, launching the E21 car at its factory in Enstone. With the regulations this year quite similar to those of last year, there are no dramatic changes in form compared to the E20. After some teams lobbied to be able to cover the stepped nose with a "vanity panel," Lotus retained the configuration, the team's technical director saying that the panel would add more weight and didn't make sense to put on the car unless it also added performance.
Beyond that, the E21 is said to be an comprehensive advance in its details - the suspension gets a new layout, the Coanda exhaust and the passive double DRS system are evolutions from last year, the front wing is "a continuation of concepts" from 2009.
After securing fourth in the Constructor's Championship last year, this is the chassis that drivers Kimi Räikkönen and Romain Grosjean will use to try and move the team up a place, which would mean beating one of the big three teams over the course of the season. The quietly and impressively consistent Räikkönen managed third in the Driver's Championship, and we're sure he wouldn't mind a move up in the standings, either.
