Lotus Exige 2006 (1 Of 338 Imported) With Lotus Oem Supercharger on 2040-cars
Scarsdale, New York, United States
|
You are bidding on a rare, meticulously maintained, and fantastically running 2006 Lotus Exige.
As many know, 2006 was the first year the Exige made its way to the United States. There were 338 imported. (Not sure how many still are registered.) In this year, they were normally aspirated. The 1 owner (previous to me), who purchased the car in Irvine, CA in 2006 maintained the engine type. I purchased the vehicle in November 2013, about 400 miles ago. I added a Lotus OEM Supercharger in partnership with Lotus Specialist Intermecanica. (Consult Lotus Forums for owner Waldir Zangiacomi's knowledge, expertise, and reputation. He has been working on Lotus vehicles since 1967.) The vehicle carries a clean CarFax and AutoCheck. As well as a clear New York State Title. (It's been in my garage, or at Intermecanica's garage since purchase.) Along with the Lotus OEM Supercharger, the engine received lots of love and attention in the form of new OEM and Lotus specific parts - either purchased through British Racing Group or Sector 111. Injectors, two fuel pumps, Intercooler, GPAN. One of the two ECU's has been tuned to run E85. When tuned, it generated approximately 330 WHP. I will provide a second ECU for the vehicle to run regular unleaded gas. The engine and all parts allow for both fuels. All is brand new. Additional New Parts include, listed with their purchase date:
Maintenance:
Other:
There is much more that was purchased for the car to not only bring it up to 2014 levels, but also rival if not surpass latest model Exiges. Will share all purchase and labor receipts. In all, over $25,000 in parts and labor was put into this vehicle. (As with a many aspects of a house renovation, recouping the costs is not necessarily on the list. But please know that every part has been purchased and installed with thought and precision by one of the best Lotus mechanics/engineers in the northeast.) As mentioned, since owning the car it has been driven about 400+ miles. Ideally, the potential buyer is local enough to see the vehicle. It is will surprise, as it did me when I saw it in person and on the lift before buying it. From what was shared with me, the 1 owner in California never tracked the normally aspirated car. He drove it, and used it in fact as his daily driver, doing freeway driving. Since owning it, the car has seen two (15 minutes each) of safety car control sessions on a closed course. (Limerock). While I am not the active 'track guy,' the next owner would be ready to drive spiritedly on the road, and depending on skill level, be at the front of the line on a track day. One other items of interest: The vehicle was fitted with a hinge to lift the rear clam for easy access/maintenance. The construct and design is similar to the BOE Clam Hinge. (See picture.) This will save hours accessing tough to reach areas of the engine. Those who own an S260 may disagree, but this car, as it has been carefully kept 100% Lotus but given a significant jolt, performs at or above the S240 of S260 - with the handling of an Exige and 330 Wheel Horsepower. Dyno run in May 2014. |

Kimi Raikkonen moving to Ferrari?
Wed, 14 Aug 2013Kimi Raikkonen, easily one of our favorite current drivers in Formula 1, may be making a move from Lotus to Ferrari, according to a Finnish tabloid called Ilta-Sanomat. Raikkonen, who won the driver's championship in 2007 with the Italian brand, is in high demand and is also rumored to have options on the table from Red Bull and his current team.
Of course, a move by Kimi to Ferrari means at least one of the Maranello-based outfit would need to find another ride. Driving ace Fernando Alonso has publicly voiced his displeasure with the Ferrari chassis, and rumors have the Spaniard considering a move to Red Bull to replace Mark Webber. Buckle up, folks, this Silly Season is shaping up to be bumpy...
Lotus and Aston Martin to hook up?
Tue, 30 Oct 2012This has been a tumultuous year for Lotus - to say the least - from the company being sold off back in January to its CEO Dany Bahar being fired in June to its questionable financial status and rumors of the British automaker being sold off to another automaker. First, we heard that Volkswagen was interested in acquiring Lotus and parent company Proton, a rumor that was later dismissed. Now Automobile is reporting that fellow Brit Aston Martin could be in the market to work with or possibly even merge with Lotus.
While this is pure speculation at this point, such a venture could prove to be beneficial for both independent companies. That's because with Lotus focused on lightweight, relatively affordable sports cars and Aston Martin producing high-end performance cars, there is virtually no product overlap between the companies. The article suggests that a person or company wanting to merge these two automakers would have to raise between $1.1 billion and $1.6 billion in order to make a go of it, however.
We're not sure what to think of this latest rumor, but anything that can help get the struggling brand back to health at least has our interest.
Kimi Raikkonen to miss rest of season for back surgery
Sun, 10 Nov 2013Formula One drivers keep themselves in peak physical condition, such are the demands placed on them in order to do what they do. But otherworldly as their capabilities may be, they're still human, and that means they get injured or sick just like the rest of us.
Case in point: Kimi Raikkonen and the announcement made today by Lotus that he'll have to sit out the rest of the season in order to undergo back surgery. That means Lotus will have to find a replacement driver for the last two races in Austin and Brazil while Kimi has and recovers from the operation.
Though we wouldn't debate the legitimacy of Kimi's condition or the necessity to rectify it, the timing is sure to raise some eyebrows. Raikkonen has been at the center of a pay dispute with Lotus, and while the situation was reportedly resolved, his decision to undergo what is said to be elective surgery at this point in the season (as opposed to waiting until its end) raises some questions as to his commitment to the team he is leaving and his team's financial commitments to him in turn.
