Lotus Embarks On New Financial Partnership With Cgi Finance In France

• For the first time ever, retail finance will be offered by Lotus to
customers in France
• Dealers will benefit from wholesale finance provided by CGI
Finance
• Lotus car sales in France have increased by 177% for the last
financial year

 

Lotus is pleased to announce a new collaborative partnership with CGI Finance to provide
financial services to Lotus dealers and retail finance to Lotus customers in France.
The partnership between Lotus Cars and CGI Finance, part of the Société Générale Group, will
enhance the wholesale financial offering for dealers in what is considered a hugely important
and influential market. It also marks an improved offering of financing and leasing products to customers in France, where there is strong demand for new models such as the new and highly
anticipated Evora 400, which recently made its French debut at the Salon Automobile de Lyon to
much acclaim.
Jean-Marc Gales, Chief Executive Officer for Group Lotus plc, stated, “We have 15 Lotus
dealers in France and they are very successful for Lotus. We are pleased to offer further support
to our dealer network with a complete range of financial products to improve the customer
offering. We are experiencing strong demand for new models such as the Evora 400 in the
French market and now with a new partnership with CGI Finance, we will be able to offer
customers in France more options to finance their next Lotus sports car.”
Dennis Verlinde, Head of Car Finance, CGI Finance said, “We have comprehensive experience
in the field of providing financial services for the premium automotive market in France. We will
undertake many activities in collaboration with Lotus as we further develop our financial products
for the future Lotus customer”
Since 1948, Lotus has been producing iconic, hand built, pure sports cars with benchmark
handling. Over the last two years, global sales figures have risen by 55% and the number of
dealers worldwide has increased from 138 in May 2014 to 202 currently. Lotus has focussed
efforts in France in recent years and has benefitted from a sales increase of 177% for the last
financial year. There are also plans to increase the number of dealerships in France by the end
of 2015, to further strengthen Lotus’ position in the market.
Those interested in more information regarding the finance offers available on Lotus cars in
France should contact their nearest dealer. The nearest dealer can be found by visiting

    What is the point of a Lotus these days?

    I have recently changed my Daily from a dirty diesel to an electric.  It struck me that the 0-60 times were almost identical, possibly quicker, to the Exige so my thought was, if comfortable family cars with suitcase room are now performing so well, are our cars becoming obsolete? Has the acceleration potential of EV’s made traditional sports cars meaningless? In an era where electric motor torque is rewriting the rules of straight‑line acceleration, it’s easy to forget what “fast” use

    LOTUS Action Camera Mod for rear view mirror

    Hi, my name is Marco and I'm from Liverpool, I'm new to this forum and new to Lotus. Towards the end of last year I started to get that itch of wanting a sporty fun car again (I had owned a couple of Mk4 Supras between 2000 & 2009) I was looking for a car that was not too big as it needed to fit into my narrow garage so I could hook it up to a trickle charger as it was not going to be a daily driver. I decided that an Elise would be perfect, after searching for months for the

    Toxic Green S-Cup - (Aka Grogu)

    Hi all as with most of my cars I thought I’d start a bit of a build thread. However unlike most cars which I bought and built up to be highly modified the plans for the lotus are quite different and so this will be more thread of its life in my ownership. I have also created a Facebook page called “Toxic Green S-Cup - (Aka Grogu)” containing images of its progress pre and post purchase.

    Newbie question

    As the title suggests , a newbie query. I have just bought an S2 Elise , 2007 with the Toyota 1ZZ power unit in ‘ touring spec’. That means electric windows, a radio and , err, not sure what else. Anyway, that is not the subject of the query. The car is blue with a cream interior. The latter I don’t plan to keep. In fact , already bought some equivalent second hand door cards in black and am looking hard at a pair of Corbeau LE seats . So, first part of my query centres on those Corbeau seats. A
