Lotus Elite concept

[Sayyaaf]

I was wondering why this wasn't posted.

Maserati GT rear ended a S2000 with X6 M wheels?

 

[Sayyaaf]

Yeah and a guy in Hyundai says hi ... I can see millions of cars in this one ..

S2000/Maserati GT/Infiniti Essence/Hyundai coupe/......

 

[NarutoRamen]

^^Don't forget to add Ascari to that list. Some of that in their as well.

The car, a hybrid that incorporates a Lotus-developed KERS system, will be the third front-engined model in Lotus's 52-year history to use the revered Elite name.

 

[Human]

A very 'Elite' and elegant car IMO

I like what I see, the design is clean and stimulates the eye...most elegant car Lotus has presented since the iconic Esprit...

 

[Centurion]

Classy car. Perhaps it's an indication of the direction Lotus are pondering -- becoming a luxury car brand.

And it still looks good! Impressive

So, it will be an FWD Lotus?

Whoa..you guys just chopped it by its ankles..

I think it very fly.. its time for lotus to come up with a new look..
I like it!!!

Doesn't look like a Lotus but, then again, what does a Lotus really look like? It's nice enough but altogether generic. It'll look too familiar by the time of its launch in 2014.

Nothing to add, class and phat but generic.

 

[Sayyaaf]

Umm ... some say its got the LFA's V10.

 

[Deleted member 25]

I understand that it's the Ls600h 's V8 with 620 ps that is under th hood.

 

[martinbo]

Yeah, there were rumourings that Lotus were set to benefit from the Lexus' efforts with the V10. Could Lexus have gifted Lotus with one of the best naturally aspirated engines ever made?

The KERS system is in the gearbox and will boost the power going to the rear axle.

I happen to like the look of it, with the exception of the new Z4 I can't think of another folding roofed design that looks this well when up. Yes it's heavy for a Lotus but because of who is making it I doubt the thing will be anything other than stunning in the handling department and with 620 ponnies to play with it's weight won't be a problem in the speed department either.

I think it fits well
