Grant Lotus Cars exemption from the Provision of FMVSS that denies the importation of the Lotus Evora and Exige.

Created by S.M. on February 24, 2014

Grant Group Lotus plc an exemption from the Provision of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard that blocks the importation of the Lotus Evora and Exige models (all varients). This exemption should extend for the maximum 2 years and no more than 2,500 vehicles per year under 49 U.S.C. 30113 by the authority of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. At which time the low volume manufacturer will have the ability to bring its vehicles to code. We, the consumers, accept the risk to ourselves and our passengers associated with this exemption. Furthermore, it is in our (the public's) interest to see this exemption granted.
