Is that still going ahead? I thought when they sacked their mad CEO last year they scrapped all his car plans too

A new Esprit is defo required though

Whiff of Aston Martin in the first picture..?

Looks quite nice indeed!

Hmm bit like that new toyota / subaru yolk.

[Peter-E36]

GT86/BRZ? Little bit yea, but sharper and more upmarket

I like lotusesesesss Thought the Evora was pretty nice!

[Verdigris]

With their ties to Toyota there is always the possibilty of a BRZ/FT86 derived Lotus

As Leins said though, Dany Bahar was axed for trying to change the entire direction and meaning of Lotus, for a few bad PR guffs and for embezzling a shit tonne (metric) of money. The 5 concepts, the etherne being one of them, were all scrapped too as far as I know.

I would love to build a properly sorted Europa. They seem to do them justice in Japan.

Always frustrates me when you see a concept car that is stunning - why the fook dont the manufacturers ever put them into production - they'd sell heaps of them!!
But is it that they think they are too offensive for most of the general, non petrol head, public.
