yep just as i thought it’s naff in real life too…
Give me a Farbio GTS any day of the week,,,, also doesn’t it look like the Artega GT. hmmmm now where did lotus get their idea’s from eh!! take a look you may surprise yourself.

Well I’m not sure about the looks – but I think it’s fishy that Lotus make a big song and dance about it being a 2+2 and then don’t provide any pictures showing even a corner of the back seats…

Leather parcel shelf I reckon.

Thumbs up! I’m an Italian by nationality…so I know how supercars should look (ideally, hehe).

I think it’s a grower – the more I look at it the more I like it. Although the rear spoiler is a bit Elise, the windscreen is a bit M250, the rear intakes a little Tesla and the sharp lines remind me of er… a Z4 (oh dear). Overall it looks like a Lotus. It reminds me a bit of an Artega GT, although the inside looks better. I’m looking forward to seeing it in the flesh next week…

Any news on pricing?

Well after waitng 8 years for this car to come out, being cheated and decieved about the actual launch date of the m250 which was an amazing car (why is it that the protype car is always really cool and the real life model is sooooo naff). Also being decieved about the launch of the esprit which should have come out in 2006,now its 2010 apparently. I have owned a elise 160sport which was cool but fell apart from new, owned a exige.which was cool but fell apart.
I think this is eagle car overated and ugly.
of course there are always die hard lotus fans out there that will automaticaly love anything built by lotus whatever it looks like.
all i can say to those people is keep taking the pills.
I’m going to see it at the excel motor show to give lotus a second chance you never know I may change my views.
at this point in time I fully agree with John coyle

It looks kinda average. Too much like a smaller corvette or something and not enough like a lotus.

LoL the Tesla are made by Lotus….basically a Tesla is an Elise only runs on electricity. If you check the back ground on the Tesla you’ll see that the car was designed by the Lotus which explains the similarities in the Tesla and Elise. This one though just looks stunning! I have to get this.

it reminds me of a tesla. which is weird because a tesla looks like a lotus.

so its a lotus that looks like a tesla, which would then look like a lotus. but the thing is…i dont see a lotus when i look at it.

make sense?

I think you’re smoking crack. I LOVE the way this car looks. The only thing I would change would be to have the bare-bones racecar interior of the Elise/Exige. I just can’t imagine a Lotus with upholstery.

It looks less feminine. Maybe i’d consider driving a lotus now.
