ooooooooh, could be a hell of a car when it comes out!

[gucom]

yeah its gonna be great (ofcourse, its a lotus) but i liked the M250 concept better.

If they put a turbo on that Rover KV6 engine that their planning to use, then that car will be rivaling more than just the Boxster.

[gucom]

no1 is planning to use a rover kv6 engine anymore

[DUNKiNUTS]

hmmmmmmm that would be very fun to have that in the market.

[Schwalbe]

Still another Lotus which is used for only one thing: Pleasure of driving ! :)

[gucom]

thankfully that seems to be the sole purpose of Lotus cars :D its the reasin Lotus is 1 of my favourite brands

Then what type of engine are they planning to use?

anyone else know?

[chest3r]

It looks very good. :) Should be a very good machine. Good News 8)

I think that the lotus will be a hard rival for the boxster, and that it wont dissapoint me as lotus has never dissapointed me with its models launches

[skituner]

sweet
i love lotus and another model would be great

[gucom]

well toyota seems the obvious choice since the new Elise engine is also a Toyota engine (i dont know if/what kind of V60 engines Toyota has).

I will love the new car, no doubt, but still i htink if they had made the M250 concept it would have been one of the best cars ever.

i worked at proton over the summer............maybe its not based on the elise....but something quite similar to it............maybe that could be the powerplant for it? :wink:

[adamk24]

it could be a piece of dog crap, if it has a lotus badge on it, im in love with it! :mrgreen: ::hug's lotus badged dog turd:: :D

[bmwmpower]

why is lotus in shadow of italian cars, i think lotus has great history,
colin chapman is legend

[adamk24]

Yeah, I cant think of any company I would rather see championed for their engineering than Lotus (except maybe Mclaren.... damn you schumacher).
It is more than well known that Lotus does suspension like no one else can.... they are just the masters of track. 8)

always lotus made excellent cars
they wont be dissapoint this time

[bmwmpower]

i thats true- all were excellent

[mrpushrod]

V6 engined small 2 seater GT from Lotus? Noble should be very worried! Let's hope it's not another FWD Elan type affair, competent but dull.

i'd guess it will be another toyota engine, although don't rule out something from bmw. The esprit replacement will most likely have a bmw v8, so its possible the GT (which will sit between elise and esprit) may also have a bmw powerplant.

Personallly i'd love to see the straight six E36 vanos engine in something light weight with two seats - 340 bhp, german reliability, wicked sound :)
