These renderings were in Autocar mag a while ago. I'm not too sure how accurate they are (most likely not at all!) but I kinda like the look of it.

No

It is a badly photoshopped Gallardo.

There was no justice to the Esprit in these cut ups! I think it looked like a Lambo had a baby with an 80's Camero... Rather happy that this is not "the one" personally...

Lawrence, your such the downer! Everywhere else the reports are the design has been finalized and in wind tunnel testing. With over 100 engineers on the project and Lotus is going full force on this car. why do you keep saying on various sites this downer talk?
