In a recent blog post we shared a video of Top Gear's The Stig driving a Lotus Evora. The amazing Stig and the amazing Lotus perform a dance of tires and engines which is an art indeed. We found another great video to share with our favorite coupe as the star. The video shows an up close look at the Evora, inside and out.

We all know that the guys of BBC's Top Gear like to have fun with their test drives... a LOT of fun. But one of our favorite videos, from an episode way back in 2008, showcases the performance of the Lotus Exige. Lotus is famous for making fast and agile sports cars, but what happens when pure speed, a sleek design, and superior handling go head-to-head with one of the great predators of the…

Irv Gordon, an average-looking gent from New York, achieved the unthinkable with his 1966 Volvo P1800--on September 17th of 2013, the odometer on his faithful old car clocked its three-millionth mile. It took the 74-year-old Long Island native more than 20 years to reach his first millionth mile, and another 15 years of travelling to reach his second millionth mile in 2002. He became the official titleholder in the Guinness Book of World Records for…

The picture above is of the 2014 Lotus but this story is of an older model. In the '50s a Lotus cost between the $2,000-3,000 and right in the middle of that is what Robert Kahmer and his friend Ben Fowke split for a 1955 Lotus Mark X. In 1958, for $2,700, Kahmer and Fowke had the Lotus shipped from England and had it racing the very next weekend.

Kahmer was head…

No one can deny that the bike shown above is beautiful.  However, you wouldn't know from first glance that it is actually Lotus's new motorcycle, the C-10. This may have something to do with the fact that the bike's actual builders are German racing company Kodewa. No matter though, this bike looks amazing and undoubtedly has the Lotus touch we would want in a motorcycle.

The Lotus C-10 was designed by Daniel…
