All of the car is with extra bits or new panels on the car, hopefully its the first stages of the new Esprit. The lotus people cant be too worried with leaving the car out in the open and no camflouge

Wow if they actually think of putting the 4.0 V8 from the m3 it will be a pocket rocket. That would be insane.

That would work too. Maybe a little too heavy?

Bavarian, such a car (as light as Exige, but with V8) already exists, it's called Ultima GTR ;)

turbo will be a much better choice. better power to weight ratio too.

BMW powered Lotus?! Please throw in a 3.0L bi-turbo i6! The perfect combination...

It could be an Elise or Exige facelift that looks like the Evora

This is really interesting. Can't wait to hear what engine they put in the Lotus.

I really hope its a new esprit, that car was indeed a looker, but a new Elise or Exige would be intresting to see. Lotus, dont disappoint.

They need to replace the Elise/Exige. This had better be it.
