Lotus’ latest model, code-named Lotus “Eagle” has been snapped undergoing handling tests at the ring (Nürburgring).

We brought you the first pictures of the 2+2 Lotus sports car last month, and since then the car has been spotted testing more frequently ahead of its unveiling at the British Motor Show in July.

It will be powered by a mid-mounted 3.5-litre petrol engine borrowed from Toyota, and the V6 unit will drive the rear wheels alone.

Forced induction is expected but not confirmed. Lotus plans to market at least five versions ranging from a convertible to variants utilising paddle shifters (a first for Lotus).

Entering production at the beginning of 2009, Project Eagle will enter the market as Lotus’ flagship performance car above the Elise, Exige and Europa.

      Proton owns Lotus??????????????????????????????????????
      So if your employer asks you to do, you do
      It is a Toyota motor as well I think so why not stick it into them for that to.

      Yep another Lotus that looks like all other Lotus’s gone by. However with that engine performance will be ace and back to the supercar years of the Esprit. Thanks toyota for a decent engine, BMW units are obviously too expensive.

      I think you will find it is a YAMAHA motor – the same as used in the Celica and Corolla. Toyota got that motor from Yamaha.

      i think you will find its the 3.5 v6 from the Aurion & Rav4, a 1.8 wouldnt be powerful enough for this car.

      Looks like BigT is in the box seat to buy Lotus as soon as it is for sale.

      Won’t be long, Malaysia GovCo cannot go on funneling money into a loss making enterprise

      lotus is own by a single owner not a company of any sort
      and that is the evora being tested not the “eagle”
