Current Events: NEW Lotus Emira First Look: Supercar Looks For Sports Car Money (Carfection)

Henry talks Emira turkey with Gavan Kershaw, Lotus' director of attributes and product integrity. This new Lotus will replace all current small sports cars, including the Evora and will be the new entry level sports car in the range as part of their overall production expansion plans for the future. Supercharged V6 and Turbo AMG I-4 options are in the plans, with styling cues from the all electric Evija. Sadly, this will be the last non-hybrid/all-electric Lotus model on offer. Buy these cars while they're around, folks, and cross your fingers for the progression of synthetic fuels.

Neo-Vintage Motorsport Topic: Lotus Type 88 - The BANNED F1 car (GoodwoodRoad&Racing)

Lotus' F1 history is quite colorful and accomplished, which can be see in the Type 88 twin chassis race car they built in 1981. Colin Chapman walks us through the history of this car. We can only wonder how it would've done in competition if it wasn't banned by the FIA...
