They are leaking that information to GET people to buy the S2 in the knowledge they’ll be able to add options later, in the fact that’s it’s not a whole new car coming.
Obviously I can see the logic in your point IDG.
Although you say these upgrades won’t feature in a standard car, has Lotus actually confirmed this? I think we’re mostly in agreement on this forum that the S2 needs something extra to prise open wallets in significant numbers, so a better standard car may prove irresistible to Lotus and punters alike.
Happy to be proven wrong though
