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).

    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
