what is it?

M250 - Meant to sit between the Elise and the Esprit, 3ltr V6 engine and scissor doors.

Lotus showed it in around 2000, then buckled under the weight of their deal with GM to produce the VX220, ran out of cash and decided that the M250 design wasn't competitive/saleable in the world market and canned the project. It was a stunning design, but there were issues with the packaging (for a bigger brother to the Elise, it had less storage and it was uncertain it could pass worldwide safety regs.) and the performance was fairly typical for a newly launched Lotus - ie. not so impressive, wait for the performance pack. All in all, for something that was meant to compete against Porsche and TVR (when they existed), it looked amazing but there were questions as to whether it would have been class leading without some tweaks.

Great pics, but WTF is this (the 'W' being more "Why" rather than "What" )?



Sadly I had to spend the day at work, looks like I missed a great day out. However one of my son's school friends went with his family and blagged a goody bag for me, ... which was nice!

It was designed by a Lotus engineer for crossing the North Pole/Ice cap/Some place cold and icy.
