The first of the four cars to be revealed is a modern take on the Lotus Seven. The design is said to be based on a Spanish concept vehicle that had been cancelled. The new model, controversially, is also said to be more comfort-oriented than the predecessor, sporting such features as air conditioning and a ‘comfortable and accommodating’ interior.
Secondly, Lotus will unveil an Esprit revival car equipped with a V8 engine. The concept of the Esprit has been around for about six years and was initially put on hold to make way for the Evora project, which was deemed more important at the time. The upcoming Esprit will use a mid-mounted V8 and a largely aluminium body – Lotus is said to be focusing on keeping costs down by detouring around the use expensive materials like carbon fibre, while still remaining traditional and light-weight.
The Seven is reborn
First to hit production in early 2012 will be a modern take on the Lotus Seven – a move which could ultimately prove the biggest risk of them all. Sources claim the car is heavier and more comfort- oriented than the original – and even runs such performance-sapping measures as air-con.
And in a potential source of embarrassment for a firm so proud of its engineering expertise, the car was not even conceived, designed or developed at its HQ in Hethel, Norfolk. Instead, the front-engined, rear-wheel-drive, open-top model will be heavily based on an aborted Spanish sports concept, thought to be the IFR Aspid, and may even be built in Spain. A high price of £60,000 will put it directly in the firing line for models such as the Porsche Cayman S and Audi’s RS5.

On the plus side we have the Spanish AFR Aspid. Similar to Caparo building the T1, AFR built the Aspid. AFR supply components to the big boy OEMs and thought a good way to showcase their technology would be in an exclusive road car.
The Aspid is constructed of an aluminium spaceframe chassis bonded with aluminium honeycomb and covered with carbon fibre body panels. Engine options include a modified naturally aspirated 2L Honda engine and a supercharged version tipped to pump out 400hp. With the car weighing only 700kg, this thing will hussle. Other new technologies include new wiring and internal communications system and a very compact hydraulic suspension package. Given that the guy looking after the car was struggling a little with English, that’s about all the detail I could get out of him.
Imho is dat absoluut de plank misslaan. De wagen oogt niet en een Seven is nog altijd bedoeld om de meest pure vorm van rijden te ervaren. Snap overigens niet waarom ze de Cayman en RS5 erbij halen. Heel ander volk. Niemand die een Porsche of Audi denkt te kopen zal nooit bij toeval eindigen in die 'luxe' nepseven.

denk dat de Lotus versie daarvan wel mooier zal zijn...zie die rode boven, die is al wat aangepast...en zo zal de werkelijke versie nog wel iets als verrassing hebben denk ikHans R schreef:60000,- pond!! die zijn gek.. gaat hier in NL dus ruim een ton kosten..
Lelijk hok is het ook nog..
