Lotus is pleased to announce the appointment of Simply Sports Cars (SSC) as the new distributor for Lotus cars in Australia and New Zealand (A/NZ). Simply Sports Cars is the long time Sydney based Lotus specialist manned by experienced race engineers and factory trained technical staff.
Simply Sports Cars was established in 2003 as a leading service centre for Lotus cars in Australia supporting road, track and motorsport focused Lotus cars and became an official Lotus franchise dealer in 2013.
Jean-Marc Gales, Chief Executive Officer for Group Lotus plc, said, "When it comes to high performance, and highly desirable sports cars, Lotus sets the standard, and today we have never had a stronger or faster model line up. All Lotus sports cars set the benchmark for added lightness - this is what Lotus does and nobody does it better. We are making our best ever cars, and across the world more customers are experiencing what a Lotus is capable of.”
Jean-Marc Gales continues, “Lotus has a long history in Australia and New Zealand and our fans and customers in the region understand just what makes a Lotus so special, embracing our “light is right” philosophy. This knowledge and enthusiasm for Lotus is also carried by Lee Knappett and his team at Simply Sports Cars who have a well deserved reputation for delivering exceptional customer service and support.”
Lee Knappett, CEO of Simply Sports Cars said “We are delighted to be given the opportunity to expand our relationship with Lotus as a dealer and distributor. Simply Sports Cars has built a reputation in the Australia and New Zealand as one of the leading experts on Lotus, with a unique approach to fostering the sense of lifestyle and community that comes with the Lotus brand. The majority of Lotus owners in Australia and New Zealand are looking to become part of the Lotus family who appreciate the experience of driving and look for events in which they can enjoy their Lotus sports cars such as the Lotus Only Track Day events which regularly attract over 70 cars.”
In addition to the Evora 400, Simply Sports Cars will be importing the legendary Elise range, (including the Elise Sport, Sport 220 and Cup 250) and the quickest real world supercar, the Exige Sport 350 and the hypercar humbling 3-Eleven.

  • 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.

    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
