Lotus Concepts from the past?

[LotusV8]

I was checking the net out looking for some new Lotus pics that I havent yet explored (only to find none to my dismay. I have too much time on my hands ;( ) but came across this particular site with some concepts of Lotus cars. check it out. One is called the Emotion (these are most certainly old concepts) and if you look to the left on the side bar area, you can easily sopt unfamiliar names, like the Emme and what not.

My first contribution on joining the Forum back in December 2001 responding to someone who thought the Lotus Emotion was a figment of his imagination - check out

There is a link there with more pictures. It actually looks pretty good in a supercar retro way, even today. It was strongly rumoured at the time (1991) that this would be the basis for the Esprit replacement - after all the car was 15 years old by then! If only they knew...

That car still looks stunning. A bit "pagani" from some angles.

I'd love this to be the next esprit.. or something similar.

Sorry if this reply is a little late, I don't like to drag up old threads but recently I found the website of the design studies that designed this car, apparently its based on an esprit chasis.

the website is.... www.bertone.it/en/scheda_90_emotion_en.htm
