Big announcement from LOTUS expected this weeken

A four door is coming. I don’t know if it will be shown at the show but I do know its prototype build and design refinements are already underway.

Yeah, I agree and already said so on the Lotus Drivers Club forum yesterday:

I fancy a large four-door GT car a la Panamerica, Quattroporto, and a small family car both wearing Lotus badges but built in Malaysia. And possibly the new Esprit built in Norfolk.

Only a guess…

I think this might be when it is going to happen.

But dont bank on it.

Sadly I will never know as not a facebook fan/user.!!!
Too Blood* old.!!!

The announcements were always going to be at the motorshow.

At least 4 new models I was told today.

Thats exactly what they are announcing, altho the small family car will be more of a micro car along the lines of a mini plus of course they’ll be announcing the new Evora S. This makes 4 cars unveiled with possible a 5th too.

In a shock announcement they will confirm one of the cars will not be named with an ‘E’.

Instead it will be called the Lotus ‘Forum’ featuring

a Honda engine
nitrons
forge intercooler
some bobbins
poor fit & finish
carbon wrap
no air con
6 doors
a carbon fibre seat with no padding
a TV
somebody else’s brake discs
HGF
200mph top speed
uprated gearbox capable of handling 301bhp
S1 styling
