Even by Lotus's standards the past seven days have been fairly tumultuous. News of a planned workforce restructuring was followed by rumours (thankfully refuted) of the Evora's departure from America.
But having spoken with CEO Jean Marc Gales, we can't help but feel optimistic about the future. Gales has identified where the brand's strengths are and plans to develop those further. No wild expansion ideas but instead a careful evolution of what Lotus knows best.
And what does Lotus do better than fantastic sports cars? Exactly. So for POTW this week we have one of said excellent sports car being driven in a sporty fashion. An Exige S sideways on the Hethel test track. Go on, your desktop would appreciate it.
