Lotus has been talking about making a 50-60k sports coupe for quite some time. This is probably that car.
makes sense. basically a more liveable, more luxurious Exige/Elise. Less hardcore, more of a touring setup.

i had a chat with a lotus rep. during the media days at the NY auto show.. the esprit came up and he hinted that the next esprit will be a vast improvment over the current model and a rather sly smile came across his face. of course he offered no more details..perhaps this could be some test mule with elise style skin on it.

Looks like something I'd fit in!


Reminds me of a Noble M12, as well. Let's just hope it makes it to the states.
