The Lotus Eletre electric SUV.

Colin Chapman may have been a cunt but there's no fucking way he'd have signed this off.

Same with Ferruccio Lamborghini and the Urus and Enzo and the Purosangue I reckon. At least there's no LotusWorld (yet?).

It's shit but it's all driven by volume and money and 99% of potential buyers don't care and have probably never heard of ACBC.

Before some smartarse like Eddie :D says it blame the beancounters.

Lotus is just a consultancy company with a car company attached to the side of it.

It's horrible but if it makes them money and them to continue experimenting with building sports cars, then so be it.

I saw a new lotus the other day on the motorway. I'd no idea they were still building cars. Didn't catch the model name but it was supercar sort of styling and looked pretty nice to be honest.

I've seen one on the road and it certainly looks the part. It's also a lot cheaper than a lot of the competition at only* 70K or so. It's also had glowing reviews from the couple of journo's I've seen that have done videos on it.

Their electric Evija Hyper car seems to be just a bonkers idea/concept tho. 2000bhp but meant to be in the Chapman vein of thought so light* so has a projected 250 mile range even with the biggest battery pack fitted.
