Lotus: Exige on 2040-cars
Tampa, Florida, United States
I am selling my NA 2006 Lotus Exige in Solar Yellow. I have owned it since October 2014. I purchased it with 14k miles from Autoquest in Ft. Myers, FL. It has been my daily driver since then and now sits at 44,000 miles. My commute is 75 miles per day, 70 miles of that being highway. It has been very reliable and has made the commute a blast for almost two years. I am sad to sell it, but I have the itch to get into another toy. I have not tracked the car, but did one autocross day. Its a blast to drive! The oil recall was compeleted. This Exige was optioned with the touring pack, track pack, LSD, starshield, and floormats with aluminum buttons. The following tasteful mods have been compelted: -Toda flywheel and ACT Clutch - Forcefed Header - 2bular Exhaust - 2bular Diffuser - Nitron Singles Coilovers - gPan 3 baffled oil pan - TRACK mounts motor mounts - RTD brace - Stiffy 2 Chassis Brace - Boomerand Tow Hook - Aluminum Jacking Pins - Fire Extinguisher - Stainless Steel Brake Lines -Genuine Lotus Sport Carbon Fiber Wing -Carbon Fiber front splitter -Carbon Fiber side vents -Toyo R888 tires July 2015 -DBA 4000 rotors/new pads July 2015 It has a clean title (in hand) and clean Carfax. I am the second owner. The first owner was a pediatrician in Oregon I believe. The blower motor for the AC/Heater does not work some days. One of the LEDs in the left tailight is out. The headliner started falling, so I removed it. The check engine light is on with a P0420 code due to the headers. The car does have a catalytic converter. The exhaust is just the right volume with nice pops on the deaccel. The original wing, side vents, and splitter will be included. Also included are service records, manual, toolkit, 1 key, 2 fobs.

Lotus settles with ex-CEO Dany Bahar, avoids London High Court
Sun, 25 May 2014Five years after it began, it appears the Dany Bahar tenure at Lotus is finally over. After former Lotus owner Proton brought in the ex-Ferrari and Red Bull marketing savant to run the company in 2009, everything had gone pear-shaped by 2012: Proton had been sold to Malaysian auto supplier DRB-Hicom, who suspended Bahar and then fired him for what it said were expense-account transgressions (although Bob Lutz reportedly said something different).
The separation led to the expected suit and countersuit, Lotus going after Bahar to get its money back, Bahar filing a $10.6-million suit againt Lotus for wrongful termination and potential bonus money. The case was set to go to trial next month but both parties have settled, the terms undisclosed, a DRB-Hicom statement saying only that "the parties involved in the legal suit have signed a Settlement Agreement and Release... and have agreed to withdraw their claims against each other."
Now that that bit of housecleaning is all cleared up, can new CEO Jean-Marc Gales please get our Esprit?
Recap: 2013 Australian Formula One Grand Prix is all about the rubber [w/spoilers]
Sun, 17 Mar 2013A pre-season full of talking points was swapped for a brand-new set of talking points after the running of the opening grand prix of the 2013 Formula One season. The consistency of the regulations from last year to this year and the triplicate dominance of Infiniti Red Bull Racing meant that no one would have been that surprised if the relative order of things remained the same. But teams found so many ways to switch things up that, in typical pre-season fashion, no one was ready to make any bets on in-season performance, and a couple of surprising players suffered the ignominy of getting it really wrong: McLaren knew it was in trouble from the very first test, while Williams drivers applauded their car as the best in years, only to have Pastor Maldonado call it "undriveable" on the very first day of practice in Melbourne.
And then there were those Pirellis, the Italian company talking up the fact that its super soft tires would only go off so quickly that it would force teams to pit at least twice during the race.
Even then, no one could have seen the first round of pit stops beginning on Lap 5.
Lotus team out of Le Mans, full driver list published
Tue, 20 May 2014We can scratch off one more car from the list for the 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Lotus T129 LMP1 car has been dropped from the entry list of the 82nd running of the historic race, with organizers citing "a lack of preparation" as the reason. On a more positive note, the list of 168 drivers in 56 vehicles has been officially published for the June 14 race.
Like the Lotus team currently in Formula One, the Lotus T129 uses the iconic British brand's name and colors but is actually built by a separate company. It previously ran a Lola chassis in the LMP2-class (pictured above). The Le Mans organizers claim the car will likely be on display during the 24-hour race, but it won't make it's competition debut until the World Endurance Championship round at the Circuit of the Americas in September. The T129 is being replaced by an Oreca 03 chassis with Nissan power in the LMP2 class, entered by Millennium Racing.
The Lotus' retirement came as the teams had to send in the names of the three drivers nominated to race each car. This year there are racers from 26 countries with the most coming from France (39), Britain (29), the US (17) and Italy (15). The latest tally of entries breaks down to 9 LMP1s, 19 LMP2s, 9 LM GTE Pros, 18 LM GTE Ams and the Nissan ZEOD RC as the experimental Garage 56 entry.
