Lotus has decided that its bloated Elise GT – the Lotus Europa – will end production immediately. Lotus had a Europa in the 1960s.

Salon Prive: Atomik 500 UK Debut
A fun debut at this year’s Salon Prive is the Fiat 500 based Atomik 500, an electric city car with supercar performance. You wouldn’t necessarily think that a Fiat 500 based car would be the sort of thing that would turn up at Salon Prive, much less have its UK debut. But the Atomik 500 is no […]
