Hmmm, interesting.  Note the headline photo of the Donato Coco designed Elan - funny eh?  Not even the mock-up Esprit 😄!

Looks like a fast Evora under the covers

Rumour is that its a £1 million plus all electric hypercar but I do agree that does look like a fast Evora. Release time is 3am tomorrow.

It's got a roof scoop too .

Recent interview with JMG (after departing from Lotus) suggested that the next genuinely new Lotus will replace both Evora and Exige, but this doesn't look genuinely new (unless there are some very cleverly machined bits of Evora shaped polystyrene under that cover..... there's some clever kit in the Design Studio!!).

So seeing as I have a hybrid Volvo, can I say I drive a Type 65?
