As featured in European Car magazine - May/2014 issue
Here is an extremely rare opportunity to own a very special Lotus Elise GT widebody roadster sports car. This incredibly unique supercar is a one-of-a-kind 300hp 'street legal' go-kart on steroids. A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing Originally shipped to the US as a Lotus factory-built race car (one of 24 left hand drive models shipped), it has been retired and professionally modified for 'street-use'. And since it no longer needed to meet the specs of its original race class, it was built to much higher performance specifications and improved cockpit design/comfort. This is NOT your production Elise/Exige with 190hp Toyota power plant, but rather a 1700lb 300hp 6-spd go-kart on steroids, with nearly twice the rubber on the pavement then a production model S2 Elise/Exige. Translation: This normally aspirated Honda 2.4L iVTEC engine puts out MORE torque/bhp than ANY 'production supercharged' Lotus Elise/Exige ever built (eg. Exige S, S 240 or S 260) and weighs 25% less. It even has more power than the Exige GT3 Prototype Racer (274bhp). Beauty is.... it's all current Honda engine technology, so OEM parts as well as after market parts are inexpensive and easy to find! Want 500hp? Bolt a supercharger to it! Personally, I don't have the balls for it. Maybe you do? Equally Competitive on the Street-or-Track For track use, the Elise GT comes with a separate set of Hoosier R6 tires and a 67" adjustable carbon fiber wing that easily installs in minutes. The aerodynamics of this car at track speed is phenomenal. It also features a auto throttle blip system that eliminates the need to heel/toe under heavy braking and a built-in Traqmate GPS Data Logger system. It is the only one of its kind, so if you want an exotic no one else has, this is it. It could be yours.

Former CEO Bahar files $10.6M suit against Lotus
Mon, 27 Aug 2012File this one under "not surprising in the least." Fired Lotus CEO Dany Bahar is reportedly suing his former employers for some $10.6 million, claiming that the automaker and its Malaysian owner, DRB, broke the law when they dismissed him. According to a report by Bloomberg Businessweek, DRB and Lotus will defend themselves in court rather than settling, including filing a countersuit against the former top executive.
Bahar, 40, was canned on June 7, about two weeks after Lotus suspended him pending an investigation into his conduct. The report cites a Kuala Lumpur stock exchange filing as its source of the information; the filing also indicates that DRB has decided against selling Lotus, despite continuing losses.
Lotus could build production versions of Renault Alpine, Infiniti Emerg-E
Tue, 14 Aug 2012As with one of those blockbuster three-team NBA trades that actually improves the fortunes of every team involved, a report in Autocar indicates that Renault, Infiniti and Lotus are in talks that could benefit both manufacturers and enthusiasts. Renault is considering a production version of the devil-in-blue Alpine A110-50 concept but has said that it "probably needs more than the Renault-Nissan Alliance on its own." Enter Lotus, whose Evora platform could supply the running bits for the mid-engined Alpine revival.
That same Evora platform, in range-extended 414E concept form, is the basis for the Infiniti Emerg-E concept. Even though a decision hasn't been made on the Emerg-E's production, it is still being developed and the company has admitted that it "could be built in Britain." For its part, Lotus has said that it's ahead of schedule on the Evora 414E, with its 408 horsepower, 738 pound-feet of torque and 30-mile electric range. Development funds from both Renault and Infiniti could help make all three cars a closer possibility.
Lotus recalls 2008-2011 Elise, Exige and 2011 Evora over fire fear
Mon, 07 Jul 2014Lotus is recalling 860 vehicles after discovering that the oil cooler hose could detach from its fitting. Should the hose separate, it could spray oil on one of the lightweight car's tires, giving new meaning to the phrase "sudden loss of grip." The other case is, believe or not, more dire, as the spraying oil could hit the engine and ignite. Of course, neither situation is desirable, hence the recall.
The vast majority of the affected vehicles (780 of the 860) are the 2008 to 2011 Elise and Exige, built between November 2007 and July 2011. Another 80 Evora S coupes from 2011, manufactured between September 2010 and September 2011, are also included in the recall.
All repairs will, naturally, be completed free of charge. In the Elise/Exige's case, that means replacing the hose fittings, while the affected Evoras will get a new hose assembly.
