The Evora remained on sale due to an exemption, now expired so imports from England must cease.
The company is not expected to re-engineer its models to comply with the federal requirement because of a lack of funds.
It recently announced it would terminate over 25% of its global workforce.
Lotus dealers in the US now will sell track-only cars and no street-legal models.
