Careers at Simply Sports Cars Lotus
If you have ever had dreams of working in the automotive industry and doing a mix of vehicle servicing, modifications and track day or tarmac rally events then this is the car dealership in Australia to come and work for. No two days are the same with a mix of workshop and trackside event activities all year round.
We are the Australian distributor for Lotus & KTM vehicles as well as the operators of dealerships in Sydney and Melbourne.


Work for a sports car dealership in Australia
Simply Sports Cars is focussed on selling sports cars from the Lotus and KTM brands in Australia. We are a dynamic, hands-on team, that is run by race engineers where we spend just as much time at racing circuits or targa tarmac rally stages as we do at our dealerships in Sydney or Melbourne.
Come and work with an Australian sports car dealership that is staffed by a team that includes
- Experienced race engineers.
- Software technicians
- Designers
- Passionate driving enthusiasts.
We don’t apologise for not wearing suits or ties as our philosophy is all about creating a lifestyle for the owners of Emira, Eletre, Elise, Exige, Evora and X-BOW sports cars that enables them to enjoy their vehicles all year round.
We also;
- Design our own vehicle upgrades.
- Provide authorised motor vehicle repair services.
- Do log book servicing
- install and set up performance modifications
- Run track day events and other driving experiences.
Working at Simply Sports Cars is not like a standard car dealership – we live, breath and eat sports car performance driving. If you think you have what it takes and have something to offer the team then send us your resume
We've developed a great community over the years where we have been able to build relationships with our customers where we know everyone by first name. I'm a firm believer in making sure the whole Simply Sports Cars team is accountable for engaging directly with each of our customers to deliver a great experience whether it is buying a spare part or a driving event.
We aren't like other dealerships, for us it isn't about shiny showrooms, it is more important that people get a great experience & get to enjoy their car either socially, doing performance driving or competition at the track.
