The V8 engine that lotus was working on what was going to be the new Esprit.
Have there been anymore detail released on that engine lately?
And is it ever going to be used in anything?

Last news was it was running round Norfolk in the back of a couple of mules, one of which had a Ferrari 458 body. This was late 2012/early 2013. Nothing since then and of course Wolf Zimmerman left Lotus early last year.

Apart from unofficial statements that development of the new Esprit was almost complete, including the engine, around the middle of last year, there has been no news at all. Mind you, DRB have been very tight lipped about anything for the past two years, a constant source of frustration.

The Lotus Forums is close to what is going on at the factory and what little news has trickled out is usually picked up there first.
