Lotus suspends new car development

Lotus thrown into turmoil again it seems.

According to SMMT data, Lotus sold/registered 2 new UK cars in February. That’s not good.

Lotus could do with the Chinese government buying in. Would be a huge coup for the Chinese motor industry. Buy their way to the cutting edge of the world car industry.

They also received a firm order for at least one other :wink: :smiley:

I wouldn’t be giving dealers a penny at this moment - sounds bad. New Exige ???

Why is anyone surprised. Proton has been taken over and Lotus is at risk… again.

Have faith guys, have faith.

As long as Lotus isn’t sold to a 16 year old Russian millionaire business boy like TVR was…

I’ve actually made an offer :wink:

Come on guys, Genii will buy it. No point having a name on an F1 car that’s meaningless.

Should we buy it? :smiley:

Ian :slight_smile:

I already have an ownership stake in the form of a deposit.

No worries there then :astonished:

Anyone else want to join in??

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…

Would be ironic if Caterham end up buying a large portion of Lotus

I watched that NG programme on Megafactories / Lotus , it was all Evora and Evora S , interesting programme, but all the top ‘new’ management are Johnny Foreigners who live in a dream world , who the hell can finance , let alone build 5 new models in 18 months ( or less)

They have a pipe dream , and lost the plot now… :angry:
