It'll be faster than an M, but not as fast as a 335d (mapped)...


(sorry, wrong forum, but I'm sure you've all heard that one...)

I'm not totally sure, and I've been a Lotus fan for years. It'll be interesting what else they have to show at their 'big unveiling' in a weeks time. Lots of rumours around (new Elan, Caterham rival, Esprit of course). With all the ex-Ferrari management it's not surprising they'll look to move upmarket but I think it would be disaster to lose the cheaper, fun sports cars.

Hmmm, sides and back look stunning, not sure of the front and tend to agree with the author that looks almost Mazda-esque. Anybody else notice that the wing mirrors seem to be wing cameras?

Not so sure about it. Looks a bit like a cross between a Lexus LFA and a Toyota Celica.
