Lotus' future is safe, new Esprit coming
Some good news Confirmed by DRB-HICOM, the new owners of Lotus.

Out of the 6 models presented by an ambitious 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.”

Farikullah also confirmed all of the 1,189 British jobs at Lotus will be kept and he was committed to turning Lotus around after the ousting of chief executive Dany Bahar. The priority now is to concentrate on getting the quality right on the current Elise, Exige and Evora models.

awesome news!

 

I just want to see exige's and Elise's keep their current philosophy and continue production.

 

How un-original

A Gallardo + McLaren + 458

 

It's a 2+2 ?

 

All new cars coming out look alike, no imagination whatsoever!

 

It may not be the most original design, but I still think it looks good.

 

Looks nice!

 

Ill take one.

 

Great news....
If most of the line from this concept make it to the road... I think it just might do well
