Norwich, Kansas, United States
More infos regarding my car at: michaelegremminger@netc.fr .
Summary: 2011 Lotus Evora S, VIN SCCLMDSU4BHA11842, six speed manual transmission, rare special order Bordeau red
exterior, black leather interior, 8,076 miles, showroom condition inside and out, Larini muffler, upgraded Wilwood
clutch reservoir, clean and extensive history, 2 owners. Originally special ordered by Denver area Lotus club
member, currently MD enthusiast owned. Being sold as part of an upgrade to a McLaren MP4-12C.
Background: The Lotus Evora S is a significant upgrade to the already great standard Evora, bumping HP from 276 in
the standard car to 345 via a 5.5 psi supercharger added to the 3.5L V6. Other S upgrades include an improved
shift linkage for the six speed manual, more aggressive exterior styling, and suspension upgrades. The S also
includes optional base Evora packages as standard, including the sport suspension and sport gearbox. Performance
from the Evora S matches the exotic styling, as the 3171 lb lightweight sports car will do 0-60 in 4.3 seconds and
pull 0.98 G on the skid pad. The driving experience is pure Lotus, agile and responsive without being harsh. The
Larini exhaust provides an exotic sound track without being obnoxious, a perfect fit for the car. Unlike its more
hardcore brothers the Elise and Exige, the Evora is equally capable of being a track toy or a daily driver.
Options:
Technology Package – navigation, rear view camera
Audio Package – upgraded audio speakers
Paint Protection Film
Special Order Paint
Upgraded Wheels
Exterior: Absolutely incredible condition outside. Per the description when buying the car, this may be the only
Evora with a Bordeau red exterior as it was special ordered by the original owner and not found on the standard
color list. Regardless it is certainly rare and an absolutely stunning color, the pictures do not do the depth and
richness of the color justice. Extensively detailed and nearly flawless, the car has a clean accident history and
original paint. Forged alloy wheels are in like new condition without curbing or other damage, and wear Michelin
Pilot Super Sport tires with like new tread. Original and excellent condition glass without visible wear. The
only exterior flaw of note is light scuffing on the underside of the front bumper lower lip, which is not visible
unless the car is on a lift. The underside is extensively detailed as well, with the car sharing time on a four
post lift with a Shelby Super Snake.
Interior: As new condition inside. Flawless without any stains, tears, wear, damage, pets, or smoking. The
upgraded audio, navigation, and rear view camera are worthwhile optional upgrades to the standard Evora audio
system. All features work flawlessly, with ice cold A/C, hot heat, cruise control, power windows/locks/mirrors,
etc. The rear seats were upgraded to leather seats from another Evora, so they are a perfect match to the leather
front buckets. Very light scuffing on the driver’s side Recaro outer bolster is the only flaw. The rear seats
are in like new condition, and while small are usable for children or a short drive in a pinch. The cockpit is
overall a very comfortable place to spend time, driver oriented and high quality. An exceptional car.
Mechanical: Again, as new condition. As expected the driving experience is amazing, the steering is typical Lotus
telepathic, the brakes are strong and responsive, the shifter is smooth and positive with a linear and easy to
modulate clutch, and the suspension and mid-engined layout yield a scalpel of a car. Finally the upgraded
supercharged 3.5L V6 belies its Toyota beginnings with smooth linear power, responsive from all RPM levels, and an
exotic sound with the supercharger undertone. The exhaust also provides an incredible sound with an amazing howl
at higher RPM levels, but still mellow at lower RPMs. The clutch reservoir has been upgraded to a Wilwood unit to
improve feel and reduce fade when hot. This Lotus drives exactly as well as you would expect a pampered car with
just over 8,000 miles to drive, and that is as new. No mechanical flaws to note, the engine starts easily without
smoke or warning lights, there are no leaks, the transmission shifts smoothly without grinding, the clutch is free
of chatter or slipping, the brakes are smooth and strong without pulling, and the suspension is free of clunks or
other negative characteristics. Owned by two obsessive car enthusiasts this Lotus has never been subjected to any
variety of racing, instead it has lived life stored indoors under cover and driven on nice days only. Again, as
new condition.
Maintenance: Very well maintained but also very reliable, this Lotus has wanted for nothing. Recent maintenance
includes multiple inspections, an improved clutch reservoir, multiple engine oil changes, transmission oil, brake
and clutch bleed, pollen filter, engine filter, and driver’s door latch. Records are available for services, the
car is exceptional and needs nothing.
Conclusion: This Lotus Evora S is absolutely exceptional inside and out, with a rare color and upgraded exhaust
only adding to the desirability. Clean history and well documented, just exceptional. For serious shoppers
looking for a well-equipped and perfect condition Evora S, you won’t find one nicer. This exceptional car is
located in Wichita, KS, upon request a copy of the Carfax and over 150 high resolution photos will be provided. A
custom fitted Lotus car cover is also included. Thank you in advance for your interest, you will not be
disappointed.

Lotus responds to rumors of demise, promises 2016 MY Evora
Thu, 25 Sep 2014It's not been a great week for Lotus. Seven days ago, the UK-based automaker laid off a quarter of its workforce, terminating "up to 325 jobs." And then, just a few days ago, it was reported that the company would be ending US sales of its well-received Evora due to the expiration of an airbag exemption. The Evora is the only vehicle Lotus sells in the US, meaning its end effectively removes the brand from the market.
That was apparently a bridge too far, though, as the company has issued defiant statement, claiming it'll be back, in both the US and Canada, for model year 2016, with an air-bag compliant Evora.
"I know that this will be welcome news to our thousands of owners and fans in North America, but the reality is that there was never any intention to leave. The North American market is vitally important for us and we intend to expand our dealer network and grow our sales volumes in the future," Jean-Marc Gales, CEO of Group Lotus said in a statement. "I would like to thank our fantastic Lotus following for their support over the years and remind them that we are working on many exciting products for the future. We will continue to explore our core values on how to make a sports car better by making it faster, lighter and maintain the pure driving experience."
Coca-Cola returning to F1 with Lotus sponsorship [w/videos]
Sat, 24 Nov 2012Even before Red Bull Racing became a record-breaking three-time Constructor's Champion in Formula One, it has dominated conversations both as a team and as an energy drink. After seven years of "Red Bull this" and "Red Bull that," Coca-Cola is reportedly ready to jump into the F1 fray with its Sweden-based energy drink Burn.
Rumors had placed Coca-Cola's entry with McLaren F1, but it's actually Lotus that has secured the deal. We have no idea what the sponsorship will look like, but the website for Burn says that "We [intend] to foster that creativity by incorporating art and music in a way that will break the conventions of traditional F1 sponsorship," Lotus F1 team principal Eric Boullier adding "We are excited to partner with burn to build a new and innovative model for sponsorships that will combine experiences, content creation and social media..."
Since most - including this writer - have no idea what Burn is, we've included a couple of Burn commercial spots to help get us up to speed, which you'll find below. The 2012 season hasn't even ended, and we're already looking forward to 2013...
NHTSA investigating Lotus Elise for oil leaks
Mon, 25 Jul 2011The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has received 17 complaints about an errant oil line in the Lotus Elise, and thus, has opened an investigation. The issue concerns the line on the front right cooler, which, having got loose, sprays oil either on the wheel or inside the engine bay.
This investigation pertains to around 4,400 of the little track-day wonders sold in the 2005 and 2006 model years. There have been no injuries, but one car did leave the road and catch on fire. A NHTSA investigation doesn't mean a full recall has been issued, just that your friends in the fed are looking into the matter.
