Thread: Lotus to Unveil 4 New Concepts in Paris

Lotus to Unveil Four New Concepts at Paris Auto Show | AutoGuide.com News

Details of what exactly the “New Era” for Lotus will entail have begun to slip out with reports that the automaker will show-off four new concept cars at the Paris Auto Show this Fall. According to some reports the vehicles will include a successor to the Esprit, two new front-engined GT cars and a new roadster model. It’s not clear if one of these new models will be the Exige, but Lotus is expected to announce the release of a V6 powered Exige soon. Several spy shots of the car have been taken and considering recent emissions regulations put an end to the 1.8-liter engine (in all its forms) for the European market, Lotus is left only with an underpowered 1.6-liter.

The announcement will come as part of a larger restructuring at Lotus has also announced that it is cutting free its entire European dealer network as it plans to move forward as a serious competitor to Ferrari, Porsche and Aston Martin.

I would love to see what they can do with some funding.

I thought Lamborghini when I first saw that.

I think they're going to introduce a new car called the "Era" based on the Evora platform.

It definitely does resemble a lambo. It looks hot though.
