2007 Lotus Exige S. 8500 Miles. Fresh K24 Honda Drivetrain. on 2040-cars
Edmond, Oklahoma, United States
|
2007 Exige S with approx 8700 miles. This Exige is an over the top track prepped fire breathing monster. It is well sorted out, extremely fast, extremely consistent, and designed specifically to handle long runs without any fade or the typical heat related issues that plague the Exige/Elise on the track. The car weighs just over 1500lbs and produces approx 300hp. It is not only fast, but easy to drive fast. It makes good drivers look great and great drivers look like heros. To further improve lap consistency, the driver seat has been shifted to the center of the passenger cabin. The vehicle has had no collision history, and retains the original body and factory paint. The few body alterations have been professionally performed only to either displace heat or improve aerodynamics. It features a freshly built K24 Honda 2.4 liter (drivetrain specifics below)powerplant, freshly built Gear Speed 5 speed gearbox with composite synchros, full aerodyamics, fully adjustable suspension (specifics below), single center mount seat conversion, and spares. The cost to build this car would be well into the six figures. Drivetrain Specs: Honda K24 long block (2005 Acura TSX) Acura RSX Type S head with dual V-Tec Cams. Full Race Cams. Hybrid Racing Fuel Rail. Port Matched. Oversized Throttle Body. Hondata ECM Software. Full Race Stainless Exhaust (no catalytic converter or emission system) Lightweight Flywheel. Clutch is made for track use only and does hop when leaving a stop, but is made to handle the abuse of the track (only 30 or so hours on the clutch) Gearspeed 5speed Gearbox. Specifically designed for this car with no expense spared. Composite synchros and straight cut gears. Third gear is intentionally very long. You will not have problems with this box, period. Limited Slip Differential Oversized Aluminum Radiator with dual top mount electric fans. Oversized oil cooler. Custom high capacity highly heat resistant wiring harness. You will not have electrical issues. All Engine mounts specifically made for this vehicle by Innovative Mounts. There is much more to list... Suspension/Braking: Lotus Forged Cup Wheels Fully Adjustable Nitron 46mm Race Pro Coilovers Monoball Spherical bearings. Sector 111 RTD2 Subframe Brace Upgraded Teflon lined Tie Rod Ends. Hex Shaft Custom Length Toe Links. Camber Plates. Nitron SS90 outer Toe Kit All bushings and Joints upgraded. Floating 2 Piece Brake Rotors. Front AP Racing Calipers. Stainless Steel Brake Lines. Aerodynamics: IMRP Race Side Sills (2 sets) Oversized front splitter with front undertray (chassis mounted not body mounted for more downforce) Adjustable Carbon Rear Wing with 2 sets of Aluminum Perches (again, chassis mounted for better downforce). 5 element rear diffuser Oversized Carbon Fiber Engine Intake Scoops. Gurney Flaps Custom Carbon Fiber Engine bay cover (no louvres for smoother over body airflow). Lightweight roof comes with vehicle, but once installed cannot be removed or opened easily. Difflow Undertray Aero Plates. Interior, Electronics, Saftety and Driveability: Center mount seat conversion. All parts are Autocad designed and forged aluminum. From the seat mounts, to the pedals, to the dash/steering column mounts, to the shifter, shifter box and shifter bushings. Reverie Carbon Fiber seat. Can be adjusted, but is currently set up for a 5'-11" to 6'-1", 190-200lb driver. IMRP Shifter Box with Hybrid Racing Short Throw Shifter and customer aluminum linkage (with spares for adjustments). Sparco Steering wheel with removable steering hub. Full Fire System. Hondata Engine Management AIM data logger. Custom aluminum firewall (quick release for easy engine bay access). FIA approved Fuel Cell. Full Cockpit and engine bay cage. All body and underbody fasteners are quick release (the rear bodywork and aerdynamics can be removed in under 10 minutes by two people). Clear Body Protection (Clear Bra). Much more to list. This is the closest you will ever experience to a Lemans Prototype car at almost any price. You could spend $150k or more to replicate a track car with this much speed, handling, consistency, safety. All of the frustrating Lotus traits have been tuned out of this car without losing the soul of the car, yet performance has been brought up to a level that would make Sir Colin Chapman's head spin. |

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.
Lotus reveals new LMP1 at Le Mans
Fri, 13 Jun 2014Lotus is at Le Mans this week where it has unveiled its new LMP1. Only it's not racing at Le Mans. And it's not really a Lotus, either.
The prototype belongs to an independent German team that ran a Lotus chassis in the LMP2 category last year, but was granted license by the FIA and ACO to step up to the top-tier LMP1 category to dice it with the front-running hybrids from Audi, Porsche and Toyota this year. Unfortunately, the team - which licenses the Lotus name from the automaker, much as the F1 team does - faced some setbacks. Not the least of those delays resulted from a mid-stream switch in engine suppliers from the Audi-sourced, naturally aspirated V8 it was originally set to use to a new turbocharged V6 from Advanced Engine Research.
As a result it wasn't ready for the Silverstone race that kicked off this season's World Endurance Championship in April. Nor was it ready for the second round at Spa in May or not for the headline event this weekend at Le Mans, but it aims to be on the track at the next round in Austin.
Lotus Motorcycles C-01 now 'ready for the road'
Thu, 20 Feb 2014When we first laid eyes on leaked images of the Lotus Motorcycles C-01, we wondered if its laid-back, sport cruiser shape was really appropriate for a motorcycle bearing any connection with Colin Chapman and the company's famous "add lightness" mantra. We've now seen official pictures of the bike in multiple color schemes, including classic black and gold, British racing green and even a variant that resembles Martini livery, and while we think it looks pretty cool, our opinion hasn't really changed.
Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised that the C-01 isn't an embodiment of the Lotus ethos, as the company that intends to build it isn't really Lotus at all, its builders - German racing firm Kodewa and tuner Holzer Group - merely having licensed the name of the British sportscar maker. It was designed by Daniel Simon, who once worked for Volkswagen and consulted for Bugatti and is the man credited with creating the reborn Tron Light Cycles. Still, looking past its questionable heritage, the C-01 looks pretty darn awesome, and there are some interesting bits that have us looking forward to the production version that's reportedly due within the next two months.
As expected, power comes in at 200 horsepower, courtesy of a modified version of KTM's 1,195-cc V-twin engine. The chassis is made up of steel, titanium and carbon fiber, with a seat height of about 28 inches. Its wheelbase, at about 65 inches, is a full 10 inches longer than a real street-legal superbike, and its front end is raked way out in front with a 19-inch wheel. Those dimensions mean we shouldn't expect much racetrack prowess, unless its rider is only planning on going in a straight line. Indeed, with a claimed dry weight of under 400 pounds, the Lotus Motorcycles C-01 ought to be mighty quick down the quarter mile.
