New Esprit

[t0ny99]

I don't usually stray onto the Lotus forum, but always curious about the next Esprit. Did a search, but as nothing came up I thought I'd jump right in!

Wonder where that piccie was taken?

It seems to have a nice shape to it.

I can't wait to see one in the flesh!

i guess the aussie aboriginal art on the paintwork is meant to put you on the wrong track.

i'm surprised no-ones picked them up and done a rendering with such design ques. It has quite a presence with its fat stance.

There is a "spy shot" of this car else where on the internet that shows the front... It was identified as "Esprit". I'll see if I can locate a link and edit this post. The front has 4 little (to little) head lamps and a turn signal lamp "in a hole" on the upper front quarter pannel. Over all, the car looks good - and I suppose there is still some "cover ups" that will not go into production...

you're right. the size of the lights is awkward if not disfunctional. overall, the shape looks very american. and that thing is a yacht in comparison to past esprits.

They should keep the old 'pop up' head lamps.
