You've got skills, but can we dispense with the Gallardo rip-offs??? It looks really, really nice though.

Hmmm.... Good pic But I still think straight edges are the future. Whether or not Lotus do is another question though.

In my book: If you want curves buy a chuffing Jaguar! Or any of the millions of other cars that go for the curvy look.

I think it's a shame they've gone down the road of shaving off hard edges like in the Guigaro > Stevens > Thompson transititions. But who knows what they'll do next... I just hope it's something original rather than a hybrid lovechild of a Gallardo and a 02 Esprit (= NSX!).

Wolf, you already have the best looking of ALL the Esprits

My Turbo Esprit is almost as good looking

I seriously doubt Lotus is going to come up with anything better

Just look at how the Stevens cars turned out

Ahem, cough.... Chargecooler

etc,etc...

Sorry Paul, Dont think the new Esprit will have one of those

Oh, I like to think it will.

But anyway - I'm just so glad to hear that the younger generation (James in this case) sees the virtues of not rounding off all edges to create a character-less pulp. Take my Volvo 740 Turbo - sharp, crisp, and back in style any day now!

All this time, I was right all along. B)
