2002 Lotus Esprit
Lotus boss Mike Kimberley told PistonHeads: "This will be a great car and it will instantly recognisable as a Lotus."
Lotus expects the car to start production at its Hethel plant in spring 2008, and positions it at the higher end of the range. It'll occupy the sector vacated by the Lotus Esprit that finished production in 2004, said the company.
