Hussain Alzubaidi Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 Is there any news about Lotus exige 2021?

NedaSay Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 So the first car to come out of Hethel will be presented late next year. It will occupy the Exige segment but do not expect itĀ to replace the exige in all its characteristics...Ā It will be more of a Cayman-Boxster competitor than the Exige is now.Ā But it should use 4 cyl turbo with adequate hp, stunning design and new creature comfort than any Lotus dare I say ever...Ā Overall a more lifestyle oriented vehicle than the Exige, less track focussed more daily drivable and rumor has it,Ā a different nameĀ Ā to signal a departure from what the Exige is now. Yet I'm clearly hoping that at the top end the car may be just as savage as the current Cup 430.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pits Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 I don't believe it will be called Esprit but I do believe thatĀ the Evora chassis based 2-seaterĀ will take a lot of design cues from Evija. Whenever we finally see it. Plan was end of this year. Looking more like end of 2021 early 2022 now. It was running late anyway, now add corona virus disruptions. They may well can it and decide to go straight to full EV (some sense in that, true mini Evija, market moving rapidly that way, especially by 2022) but that would involve yet futher delays. Don't hold your breath and enjoy the Lotus you have or snap up one of the brilliant current cars while you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Barrykearley Posted April 22, 2020 Gold FFM Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 Lotus making a car you can use everyday........ummmmm thatās pretty much most cars theyāve ever made - maybe not the 211 or the 340 2 Quote Only here once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
