Shit...Lotus again: 4 door Eterne concept

hks786 · 09-30-2010, 04:36 PM

Big day for Lotus eh? Seriously I looked and found the Esprit and Elan, then 2 mins later the Elise popped up and now just been updated and found this.

Details are limited, but the car is based on 2014 Elite. This means power will likely be provided by a 5.0-liter V8 engine with 620 PS (456 kW / 612 hp) and 720 Nm (531 lb-ft) of torque. A hybrid variant will also be offered and it will use a Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) and, possibly, a Lexus-sourced transmission with two integrated electric motors.

Set to go on sale in 2015, the Eterne will carry a base price of approximately £120,000. Stay tuned for more photos and details.

I've got to tell you I'm highly critical and I've found faults in the Panamera, A7 and CLS. However, I dont have any real complaints about any of the Lotus concepts today not even this. They are all too similar IMHO but even that just means they have created a new consistent design language across all their new models. Also, they dont look like anything else on the road. They do have hints of models like Fiskers etc but overall they look great and I like the new interiors!

Respect for redefining your entire range in a day!
