Renaud Gasc Appointed As General Manager Europe

Renaud Gasc appointed as General Manager Europe of Lotus Cars

Lotus Cars, the sportscar division of Group Lotus plc, announces the appointment of Mr. Renaud Gasc as General Manager for Europe.

Mr. Gasc (38) is a French national and has extensive international management experience in the automotive industry, firstly with car manufacturer Peugeot, then with car retailer Inchcape and then with Ferrari - Belgium, where he held the position of Managing Director.

Fluent in English and French, Mr Gasc is a graduate in Business Management. He is married with a daughter.

Clive Dopson, Managing Director for Lotus Cars said; "I would like to welcome Renaud to the Lotus family and look forward to his contribution in building the Lotus business throughout Europe. I would also like to thank Chris Arnold, who took on the temporary role of General Manager for Europe over the last 6 months, which he did in addition to heading up Lotus Sport, our performance division. Chris will continue to develop Lotus Sport and deliver more fine and specialist cars along similar lines to the supercharged Lotus Sport Exige 240R and the pure bred sports racer, the Lotus Sport Exige; both of which have already reached legend status."

Renaud Gasc is looking forward to his new challenges, "Mainland Europe is an important market for Lotus and within this territory of 16 countries, we currently sell the multi-award winning Lotus Elise and class leading Lotus Exige.

"I am also looking to build upon the successes of Lotus within the more mature markets within Europe. We have a number of new and exciting products that will be launched over the next few years, including a new mid-engine supercar for the end of 2007. Therefore, we need to strengthen customer service, aftersales support and marketing activities with the help of our dealer network as Lotus embarks upon its planned growth."

Renaud Gasc joined Lotus on 04 July 2005 and will be responsible for all mainland Europe markets, (not including UK and Ireland).

    What is the point of a Lotus these days?

    I have recently changed my Daily from a dirty diesel to an electric.  It struck me that the 0-60 times were almost identical, possibly quicker, to the Exige so my thought was, if comfortable family cars with suitcase room are now performing so well, are our cars becoming obsolete? Has the acceleration potential of EV’s made traditional sports cars meaningless? In an era where electric motor torque is rewriting the rules of straight‑line acceleration, it’s easy to forget what “fast” use

    LOTUS Action Camera Mod for rear view mirror

    Hi, my name is Marco and I'm from Liverpool, I'm new to this forum and new to Lotus. Towards the end of last year I started to get that itch of wanting a sporty fun car again (I had owned a couple of Mk4 Supras between 2000 & 2009) I was looking for a car that was not too big as it needed to fit into my narrow garage so I could hook it up to a trickle charger as it was not going to be a daily driver. I decided that an Elise would be perfect, after searching for months for the

    Toxic Green S-Cup - (Aka Grogu)

    Hi all as with most of my cars I thought I’d start a bit of a build thread. However unlike most cars which I bought and built up to be highly modified the plans for the lotus are quite different and so this will be more thread of its life in my ownership. I have also created a Facebook page called “Toxic Green S-Cup - (Aka Grogu)” containing images of its progress pre and post purchase.

    Newbie question

    As the title suggests , a newbie query. I have just bought an S2 Elise , 2007 with the Toyota 1ZZ power unit in ‘ touring spec’. That means electric windows, a radio and , err, not sure what else. Anyway, that is not the subject of the query. The car is blue with a cream interior. The latter I don’t plan to keep. In fact , already bought some equivalent second hand door cards in black and am looking hard at a pair of Corbeau LE seats . So, first part of my query centres on those Corbeau seats. A
