A rare opportunity to acquire one of Lotus’ most focused performance cars.



The Lotus 2-Eleven is a stunning example of lightweight engineering and motorsport heritage. A true driver’s machine, the Lotus 2-Eleven was introduced in 2007 as a track-focused evolution of the Lotus Exige, engineered to deliver the ultimate in lightweight performance and pure mechanical feedback. Developed by Lotus Motorsport, the 2-Eleven took Colin Chapman’s philosophy of 'simplify, then add lightness' to the extreme.



Weighing just 670kg and boasting over 250 horsepower from its supercharged 1.8L engine, the 2-Eleven offered supercar-rivaling performance in a minimalist, race-bred package.



356 cars were built during its four year production run at the Hethel factory in Norfolk. Intended as a track only car, Lotus did offer the option to buy a 2-Eleven in a road legal specification for the UK and Japanese markets.



The 2-Eleven presented here, designated as Build Number 071, is one of those road registered variants, having been registered in March 2008 and sold by Bell & Colvill.



This example is finished in the excellent Motorsport Black, with a dominant central stripe in silver and smaller yellow stripes either side. The theme is continued with the seats in black and yellow leather, featuring embroidered Lotus Sport logos and 4-point Schroth harnesses. Satin black 5-spoke wheels complete the cars exterior visuals. PPF is applied to main impact areas, including along the top of the sides of the car where driver and passenger make entry.



A gloss black rollover hoop is present, as well as the large carbon fibre rear spoiler, taken from the GT4 racer version of the 2-Eleven. A large front splitter compliments the rear spoiler for additional downforce.



The suspension on this 2-Eleven has been upgraded to a 3-way adjustable Ohlins setup, providing superb ride quality, that can be adjusted to suit the drivers preference for either road or track use.



Impressively, this 2-Eleven has covered just 4,000 miles, and is therefore likely one of the lowest mileage examples around. Having been inspected and prepared for sale by the expert technicians at Hilton & Moss, this 2-Eleven has received recent maintenance, as well as new tyres and will be supplied with a fresh MOT upon sale.



This fantastic 2-Eleven is ready for a new challenge, whether as a track day regular or simply to be enjoyed as a fast-road open sportscar.



Hilton & Moss are in the unique position to provide support for the new owner if desired, including track day preparations, track day support and transportation, as well as vehicle setup and upgrades.
