Lotus’ future is safe, new Esprit coming

Out of the 6 models presented by an ambitious Danny Bahar at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, the firm’s new Malaysian owners have reported they are willing to go forward with one of the concepts, the iconic Esprit.

New Lotus boss Aslam Farikullah stressed: “Lotus is a UK marque and as such Hethel is our home. Not only is Lotus important to the UK economy, but also to the region here in Norfolk.”
