Well that didn’t take long! The new LOTUS EXIGE S was revealed today at the Frankfurt International Motor Show. 345 hp is the good news, not available in all markets is the bad news. The Lotus Cars website has been updated, so head on over and take a look and see what else Lotus revealed today.

LOTUS WEBSITE

Wow, I want one! Lots of carbon fiber and Lotus magic and this EVORA is rumored to be over 200 pounds less than the EVORA S. A modified version of the S’s supercharged engine and we could have a 0 to 60 under 4 seconds thanks to over 400-hp. The front looks awesome and definitely brings the EVORA into the New Era. How much will this model MSRP for? Unknown, but my guess very north of $100K.

What a way to say goodbye to the Lotus Exige – a Final Edition Matte Black.

The most current issue in ISSUE 40 – Spring 2011 and ISSUE 1 came out in March of 2004. You can download all of them as acrobat files and if you have an iPad or other similar device, it’s nice to have them loaded up and ready to read.

Wow, even more excitement from Lotus…

Dany Bahar confirms development of a topless Evora. That sounds HOT! Many are speculating whether it will be a convertible hard top or soft top, but seems it could be either with enough room in the back seat section to accommodate whatever top Lotus decides to go with. Personally I’d prefer a convertible hard top, and with the Elite they may already have the engineering for a hard top convertible sorted out.
