electro_boy 253 Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 Assuming that is a full scale model of the car or prototype, then thats an encouraging sign for me. Keeping it compact will hopefully mean it is also light weight and not too bloated and hopefully mean it is agile too, aligning it well to the Lotus values. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kimbers 1,904 Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 They are also really into their Engineering side at present and also their heritage. Sadly I think MJK is one of the only ones left from that time! This out today in EVO magazine! 2 Quote Possibly save your life.

I would not mind spending some odd days at my new local dealer - they need not pay me. - But may be discount on parts/servicing. Lotus must be hopeful of doing well with the 131 as there seem to recruiting so many. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looking to buy a new car this year, would be nice if it was a return to Lotus. I understand the reveal could be pencilled in for Goodwood in July, assuming that goes ahead of course.

Likuid 126 Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 (edited) There is a Lotus engineering facility in Ann Arbor, MI. I assume it was built back when GM owned them? A few years ago they moved HQ there. I assume it was really to save money. Then they moved to Plymouth, MI. Here is facility in Ann Arbor: Edited February 18 by Likuid 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nathan Pitman 237 Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 Lately everything I have heard only reassures me that Lotus have no interest at all in delivering a new car which appeals to current Lotus owners. It makes sense... I get it... the money is elsewhere. I just hope that there is a short run Cup variant of these new cars which completely strips out the unnecessary bells and whistles to give us something to cling on to. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Kimbers 1,904 Posted March 3 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 3 @Nathan PitmanSadly no cars will be the same or appeal to those of us who love cars because (at least here in the uk) there will be no more petrol engines in just 9 years time. The EU is similar but they are saying 14-19 years time. If others don't follow suit the UK will struggle I think but thats for another Topic. That being said the next lotus's will I am sure, have at least some Lotus DNA. Living here in Norfolk a couple of miles from the factory, you hear and see things and I totally have high hopes for the future models. The new team in place have just as much passion as those before....maybe not as much as the old guard......and do keep in touch with their Lotus History and ex employees. 4 Quote Possibly save your life.
