Lotus Evora Picture

This is the proposed gas-electric hybrid-drive system that Lotus showed off in the Evora 414-e. There are no firm plans for production yet although Lotus has hinted several times that it intends to build a car that uses alternative power in the near future. | May 27, 2010 | Lotus

Feature

Lotus Elan

2013 Lotus Elan: Scheduled to debut after the long-awaited Esprit, the Elan is what drivers aspire towards after the Elise. It is rumored to have a supercharged 4.0-liter V6 that puts out around 395 horsepower.

Lotus Elise

2015 Lotus Elise: The third-generation, or Series 3, Elise is expected to arrive in 2014. Some rumors suggest that it will use the same chassis as the Evora, but that's uncertain given the fact that Lotus is expanding its lineup with all-new cars like the upcoming Esprit, Elan, Elite, and Eterne. The announcement made alongside these cars late last year was that Lotus plans to move up-market and while the entry-level Elise will most likely stick to its traditional role as the ultimate lightweight sports car, expect the price point to be just a tad higher than the current-generation Elise.

Lotus Elite

2014 Lotus Elite: This 2+2 Grand Tourer could possibly supplant the current Lotus Evora once it finishes its initial production run. Producing over 600 horsepower from a 5.0-liter V8, this should provide more considerable fun than the Evora — albeit with a much higher price tag.

Lotus Esprit

2013 Lotus Esprit: After several starts and stops, an all-new Esprit looks like it will finally arrive in late 2012. Lotus has revamped its executive ranks in an effort to speed up the introduction of new models and the Esprit is expected to be the centerpiece of the automaker's renewed push for higher sales volumes.

Lotus Eterne

2015 Lotus Eterne: Not much is known about the Eterne except that it will be a four-door, four seater sports car pitted against the Aston Martin Rapide and Porsche Panamera. Power is to come from a force-inducted 5.0-liter V8. We hope it aims for the Panamera's price point.

Lotus Evora

2014 Lotus Evora: The Evora 2+2 may broaden its appeal with a convertible version and some minor styling updates in 2013.

Lotus Exige

2012 Lotus Exige: According to recent news, it appears that Lotus will stop making the Exige for our shores starting in August of 2011. The redesigned Elise, which is what the Exige is based on, will return to the USA in Model Year 2015. However, that doesn't guarantee the Exige will return.
