Don't worry cuz this replace mentioned in the title isn't going to happen very soon.Its about 2017.Evora is now the most comfortable model in the whole range that Lotus is offering and will stay in production at least until the launch of the new Elan in 2017 according to the chief executive Danny Bahar.
Bahar mentioned that the British manufacturer will design a V8 engine for the future Esprit because the potential customers would never pay 100.000 dollars for a supercar powered by a Toyota engine.The V8 engine will be 40% more compact than the one from Toyota and will become the base for a new 4 cylinder unit that will power the future Elise and Exige.If all goes according to the plan the future Esprit will go into production by the end of 2013.Danny Bahar also confirmed the plans for Ethos, a small dimensions luxury car that will be sold with electric and hybrid power options on the European market and for Asia under Proton badge with conventional engines.No matter the way you look at Lotus's plans for the future,Lotus remains the main British performance cars manufacturer that designs the car on the racetrack.
