Renaud Gasc Appointed As General Manager Europe

Renaud Gasc appointed as General Manager Europe of Lotus Cars

Lotus Cars, the sportscar division of Group Lotus plc, announces the appointment of Mr. Renaud Gasc as General Manager for Europe.

Mr. Gasc (38) is a French national and has extensive international management experience in the automotive industry, firstly with car manufacturer Peugeot, then with car retailer Inchcape and then with Ferrari - Belgium, where he held the position of Managing Director.

Fluent in English and French, Mr Gasc is a graduate in Business Management. He is married with a daughter.

Clive Dopson, Managing Director for Lotus Cars said; "I would like to welcome Renaud to the Lotus family and look forward to his contribution in building the Lotus business throughout Europe. I would also like to thank Chris Arnold, who took on the temporary role of General Manager for Europe over the last 6 months, which he did in addition to heading up Lotus Sport, our performance division. Chris will continue to develop Lotus Sport and deliver more fine and specialist cars along similar lines to the supercharged Lotus Sport Exige 240R and the pure bred sports racer, the Lotus Sport Exige; both of which have already reached legend status."

Renaud Gasc is looking forward to his new challenges, "Mainland Europe is an important market for Lotus and within this territory of 16 countries, we currently sell the multi-award winning Lotus Elise and class leading Lotus Exige.

"I am also looking to build upon the successes of Lotus within the more mature markets within Europe. We have a number of new and exciting products that will be launched over the next few years, including a new mid-engine supercar for the end of 2007. Therefore, we need to strengthen customer service, aftersales support and marketing activities with the help of our dealer network as Lotus embarks upon its planned growth."

Renaud Gasc joined Lotus on 04 July 2005 and will be responsible for all mainland Europe markets, (not including UK and Ireland).

    Handbrake covers....whats yours look like?

    Ok, so my 2006 S2 has no handbrake cover. Looks like that's how most come out of the factory. Gear shift has the standard perforated leather. Im looking at the option of getting a HB cover, preferably to match the gear leaver cover, looking to keep it as OEM as possible.  What have other owners done with their handbrakes? Aftermarket to match? Or a set to swap out for a new look? Nearly all I have seen go over the top and outside. Any neat ones that tuck inside the HB slot? Show u

    Bilstein Repair Service

    Hi A couple of weeks ago my 2008 Elise failed its MOT due to leaking rear Bilstein dampers. A look on elise parts and they were £330 incl Vat each without the springs, so I decided to look at my options and found out that Bilstein offer a rebuild service. Dropped them of at their service centre in Leicester last Monday, picked them up yesterday. £140 incl vat per damper for new seals, pistons, gas and oil plus a degrease so less than half the cost of new ones. Very good

    S1 Type 49 Elise Refresh

    And so the winter refresh of my S1 Elise started today. Hoping to take front clam of tomorrow. However of the 4 lower bolts that hold the lower rear to the chassis, 2 are spinning and 2 won't budge despite copious amounts of penetrative oil over the last few months. The Eagle eyed will spot my Dremel tool which I'm not looking forward to using to remove 4 bolt heads that have limited access. Currently on my list are replacing the driving lights brackets, shot blast and paint the tow post, n

    Tyre Quandry - New Elise

    I went to see a ‘new’ Lotus today. It was bloody lovely. It’s a 15 plate so around 8-9 years old. Fitted to it were Yoko Advans AD07 front and rear. The front ones were 175/55R16 which you can’t get anymore (195/50R16 seems to be the option for fronts). Either way, by my man-maths, the tyres must be as old as the car. The date stamp on one of the fronts and one of the rears was 4814 so made end of Nov ‘14. The previous owner tracked it a lot so I’m assuming he used a 2nd set of wheels/tyres and

    Guys, I am planning a break in the lakes district for a chill drive taking in the views. I am wondering if anyone has driven all the popular passes in an S2 Exige? Any I should skip for sure? Cheers
