Amazingly fun car. I have owned the car for the last 25,000 miles and have loved every bit of it. Unfortunately for me, family matters come first so I must sell it. It is a Turbo charged Elise, putting 260 horsepower to the pavement. It is quicker than even the Exige S260! For those of you who want to know all of the technicalities about the turbo system, the complete build can be found by going to Google and searching for Perrin Performance Lotus and it should be the first link that shows. I am not a technical person, so it would be useless for me to even try to explain what the car has added parts wise. All I know is the car is fast and fun. The previous owner of the vehicle is the owner of Perrin Performance. This was his wife's car, until he started to fall in love with it. The boost is set conservatively at 8 psi, but even that is enough to put this light car in the races with supercars. The power to weight ratio is phenomenal.
PERRIN Turbo Lotus 7.6 pounds per WHP C6 Vette 8.8 pounds per WHP 997TT 7.7 pounds per WHP ZO6 Vette 6.5 pounds per WHP The car is a blast even if you never take it to the track. You feel like a rock star just sitting in it.The paint is pristine except for 2 places. One scratch on the removable hard top, and one paint chip on the rear deck area. Both are minor. There is also an issue with the cluster going in and out. It is a common issue with Lotus gauges and can be fixed by soldering the back connectors. It is not a major issue and causes no drivability concerns. If you have any questions about the car, you can call me at 502-330-1359 and I will be glad to talk. If I dont answer, leave a message. I work a lot and cant always get to my phone. |

Caterham inks US distribution deal with Superformance
Fri, 03 Jan 2014Sort of like an automotive big box store, Superformance is rapidly becoming the destination for anyone interested in modern kit cars. Besides the normal spattering of Shelby Cobra replicars, Superformance also offers replicas of the GT40 and Corvette Grand Sport. Now, we can add an altogether different type of DIY car to the company's portfolio - Caterham.
Superformance has just been announced as the new US distributor for Caterham Cars, effectively adding the entire suite of Lotus variants to the company's catalog. While there will be a large variety of models available, according to Caterham the mix will skew toward more powerful offerings. As much as we like the affordable appeal of a Seven 160 or Roadsport, simply having the wildly powerful 620 R or Superlight R500 available in the US is a good thing for enthusiasts.
"In the last two years, Caterham has significantly broadened its reach internationally and signing a new official distributor in the form of Superformance in America is a natural extension of how our brand is expanding, rapidly, across the globe," Caterham Group CEO Graham Macdonald said.

Lotus announces Exige V6 Cup racer
Mon, 20 Aug 2012The Lotus Exige is once of the most focused race cars that you can purchase on the market today, but for those individuals who desire to track the mid-engined racer, Lotus has released its latest no-frills, all-go racecar: the Exige V6 Cup.
The Exige Cup features a supercharged 3.5-liter V6 making 346 horsepower, enabling the 2,380-pound race car to get from zero to 62 mph in just 3.8 seconds. Power is put to the road with the help of Lotus Dynamic Performance Management, which allows for Touring, Sport and Race settings for the engine.
The Exige V6 Cup also features revised aerodynamics in the front fascia and rear diffuser, and it rides on a fully adjustable suspension that reaches the road with special wheels wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero Trofeo tires.
Race Recap: For the 2013 Monaco Grand Prix, NASCAR comes to the principality
Tue, 28 May 2013Lots of contact, debris cautions, trips into the wall, full-course yellows and a red flag - these are the kinds of racing terms you unbox when you want to have a conversation about NASCAR... or the Formula One grand prix of Monaco. In this case we're not talking about the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte, we're talking about 78 laps in the South of France that even featured a fallen camera cable just like that stock-car race.
This year, Mercedes-AMG Petronas drivers treated their chassis' like busses instead of F1 cars, Romain Grosjean treated his Lotus like a battering ram, Sergio Perez kept sticking his McLaren's nose in places and eventually got it smacked, and maybe the size of the drivers' mirrors should be changed instead of the tires as there were almost as many firsts as there were crashes. Plenty of F1 fans wish Monaco were removed from the calendar, yet even though it doesn't specialize in traditional thrills, that doesn't mean nothing happens during the parade through - and into - the barriers.
