Oh looks like the new Lotus family face !!! With design similarities of the Elite concept , a very S2000 alike headlamps, and Ferrari 458 interior style, but generally, a true sequel to the original one !!

Lotus is going to end up like Audi and VW by making all the cars in their range look very similar. However, this is a nice face.

It looks a bit like a lambo, but it doesn't mean I don't want one

Now... what would you prefer? A ?330000 LFA with 552hp and 3263-3483lb weight or... A ?110000 Esprit with 543hp and 3296lbs? or... spend a bit more and get 612hp :D

Looks too futuristic to me. It needs a more traditional design. The old Esprits were beautiful.

the old esprits were beautiful but they looked very futuristic when they first came out....i personally think this looks old already.....458 (wen not on fire) looks more futuristic

the 458 does not have too look futuristic...it is just way more sophisticated than this car
