Great New Lotus Concepts

Great New Lotus Concepts

Absolutely beautiful concepts from Lotus. If they can make one of these into a mid-engine, rear wheel drive, 500HP+, dual clutch tranny, weighing less than 2700 LBS., all with Lotus' legendary handling, USA street legal, for a price less than $150,000 USD, I am there in a heart beat!!! BEAUTIFUL cars!!
( The yellow Elan is my pick of this amazing litter!!)

Lotus set the motoring community abuzz when it showed up at the Paris Motor Show with a slew of concept cars. These vehicles show the direction Lotus is moving, and each is a polarizing example of a future filled with heavier yet more powerful Lotus sports cars.

The automaker recently brought its Elise, Esprit, Elan, and Elite concept vehicles out to the beach for a day of camera fun. There really isn't much more we can say about these cars that we haven't already said... that is, until someone gives us a few sets of keys (and a lesson in holding back ear-to-ear grins).

I really like the Elan. The Esprit's a bit angular for my taste. Very Lambo front ends.

Hi Bodhii,

Since you put it that way ...

Proton, a Gov't Link Company, is the parent company of Lotus, and if this program does NOT go well ...

Best regards,
Ritz

They said that about GM too! I sure hope Lotus makes it.

Agreed, but I'll just stay with the title of this thread " Great New Lotus Concepts" .

So guys, make sure that your next car is a LOTUS
