Lotus reveals the Lotus Elise Club Racer, a stripped-down track-day Elise with Sport settings and no home comforts. Lotus may have plans to be the next Aston Martin, but for now it’s stuck with an Evora that’s not selling as well as it should and an Elise that is basically the same as the car […]
Lotus Evora Facelift? No, it’s the Lotus Evora Mansory
The rumoured Lotus Evora facelift turns out to be a Mansory Lotus Evora with a new nose and lots of carbon fibre trim and is “…a taste of the future of Lotus product customisation.” The Interwebs have had a little buzz these last few days about a facelift for the Lotus Evora. It seems the […]
2011 Lotus Exige at Geneva; 2012 Lotus Evora quality boost planned
Lotus are planning to update the Lotus Exige for 2011 and give the Lotus Evora a more upmarket cabin for the 2012 MY. With all the hype that surrounded the recent Lotus outing at the Paris Motor Show it would be quite easy to forget that Lotus already has a range of cars to sell. […]
Lotus City Car Confirmed
The Lotus City Car – a range-extender 1.2 litre 3-pot – will go on sale in 2013. At the Paris Motor Show back in September Lotus arrived with more ‘New’ cars than any other car maker – much to everyone’s amazement.

Lotus Europa becomes Proton Lekir
Lotus owners Proton have revealed a re-badged Lotus Europa as the Proton Lekir Concept at the Kuala Lumpur Motor Show. Lotus tried to make the 2006 Lotus Europa fulfil the same role in its lineup the original Lotus Europa did in the sixties – a bigger version of the main range. In the ’60s it […]

Lotus revealed the Eterne, Elite, Elan, Esprit and a new Elise at last months’ Paris Motor Show. But only the New Lotus Esprit is actually being developed. The biggest surprise at the Paris Motor Show last month was a veritable shoal of new Lotus (Lotuses? Loti?) – far beyond anything we had expected. What we […]
New Lotus Elite: Top-Down +video
We have a photo of the new Lotus Elite – due in 2014 – with its top down and a video as well. I think we’ve just about got over the surprise of a New Lotus Elite dropping from a clear blue sky in the week before the Paris Motor Show. What we still haven’t […]
New Lotus: The £770 million future
It seems that Lotus has a £770 million war chest to make the concepts at the Paris Motor Show a reality. The star of the Paris Motor Show for us was Jaguar with the C-X75 Concept. But if we were a little less cynical it would have been the New Lotus Concepts. But why the […]
New Lotus Elise in 2015
Lotus has revealed a new Lotus Elise with up to 350bhp and starting at £40k. But not until 2015. Of all the Lotus reveals today at the Paris Motor Show, the new Lotus Elise is perhaps the one most easily understood. After all, the current Lotus Elise has been with us for a decade and […]
New Lotus Elan revealed
Lotus are to launch a new Lotus Elan in 2013, featuring a 4.0 litre version of the Evora V6 with up to 470bhp. I know, you’re starting to get bored and wondering how on earth Lotus can suddenly churn out a range of models that are seemingly poles apart from where they are, and expect […]
