Lotus need to get moving...

[BertBert]

Are they very behind with their electric sports car range?

Nice, a bit like a Aston Martin Zagato-isch and the top picture a bit Porsche 911-ish

looks are good

[BertBert]

I thought it looked good too. A bit like the Emira as well.

Looks very nice, but from what I've read elsewhere they don't have a manufacturer lined up to build it. So Lotus significantly ahead on that basis.

[BertBert]

I've only looked at headlines that said production due 2024 if I've got that right.

I wonder when we'll see the first lotus electric sports car in production?

Pretty but deriviative design, everything else reads like vapourware.

Do we need an EV version of the SniffPetrol new sportscar checklist?

Very good idea!

Hanging the battery pack over the rear axle might be challenging to dynamics.

Can’t quite believe what I read on Autocar...IF component prices drop, the new Type 135 will be available for Evora money - £80-100k! That’s serious wedge for an Elise replacement.

[BertBert]

It's not really an Elise replacement though. Those days are gone!

[SpudLink]

That is a seriously good looking car.

It has the proportions of a front-engined coupe, but this should give it the balance of a mid to rear-engined car. I don’t see why that would be a problem.
