Things like these "expect variable valve timing and a minimum redline of 9000 rpm" and "Final horsepower figures have yet to be announced but the minimum target is 570 bhp. There are whispers of dyno numbers reaching as high as 640 bhp" makes me horny.

Looks like they stole some styling from a Lambo.

Exactly what I was thinking. Looks sexy.

That's just like someone saying a girl looks like Adriana Lima... ME DO! :wub:

Looks like a tamed lambo but man is that a sexy car!

I really like the styling.

Looks nice, but VVT is nothing new.

Looks like an LFA from the back, love it.

Agree it has a bit of a Lambo feel to it, and also that it looks great. Curious to see what the final specs on the engine.

Will it lose the feel of a Lotus? And does it matter?

The Esprit was never a very light a perfect-handling car from all I've seen and read. It was a unique wedge with a rev-happy turbo V8.

The design is nothing special. Like others have said, it looks like they combined Lambo and an LFA.

 

[Squisher]

That's quite an ass.

But it cornered like it was on rails!

Yes, I believe the special edition pink one does come in automatic. 🙂
