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’.
