DarrylV8 Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 We are certainly looking forward to the reveal of what will hopefully be an Evija inspired SUV with the new Lotus signature front & side aero body panels which Lotus are now using; as with the Emira 1 Quote Darryl & Sue Proud to drive and own since new a true British supercar the Evora GT430 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exeterjeep Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 More leakage - interior patent revealed. Reported in various places eg https://www.motor1.com/news/573559/lotus-type-132-interior-reveal/ ... It's safe to say Lotus' desire to hype up the Type 132 before its official reveal at the end of the month isn't going as planned.....

Popular Post Il fenomino Posted March 15 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 15 Trust me. Those "leaks" are intentional. Haven't you asked yourself, why new cars are always leaked just one day prior to the premier? The PR department does it intentionaly to hype everyone up. Such a leak gets a lot of media coverage. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if there's away to disable the overhead LIDAR permanently. that thing should never pop up. The Geely group DNA is a bit too strong on this one, the interior looks heavy and almost uselessly complicated, however this will be the first Lotus with that much leg room at for the back seat... and these appear to be lifted straight from the Volvo parts been while the dash is very definitely a slight variant of the Zeekr 001 which we knew already. I wonder if Lotus will offer a version with reduced ride height, or a front and rear air suspension setup.

NedaSay Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Lotus E...l...ev...o or was it just a smoke screen could be Elevate as this is the goal of this vehicle elevating Lotus sales to unseen heights. The spring is going to be crazy busy at Lotus between the Emira first deliveries, the Evija market release and the Type 132 launch, the marketing and PR team is going to be B.U.S.Y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ba55uma Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 The trademark for elevo is withdrawn.. Lotus Nyo for type 132? https://www.trademarkelite.com/uk/trademark/trademark-owner/Group Lotus Limited/1480572 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NedaSay Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 NYO is their Chinese fullname as it is necessary in China where Lotus doesn't own the trademark for its own brand. They added NYO a few years back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exeterjeep Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 Found this comment in an article I found this morning. in https://topcarnews.net/lotus-type-132-suv-to-get-carbon-fibre-rims-s51507.html it says... It’s still not clear when Lotus plans to reveal the Type 132, but expected plenty of teases in the build-up to what could become its quickest-selling vehicle of all time. ...although we know it should be next week it is the bit about being Lotus' quickest selling car....
