The new "Esprit" could use a Lexus motor ?

[tacoboy]

Lexus (Toyota) makes a 4.3 liter motor, currently putting out
300 HP and 325 torque.
Lotus could do their magic on it and get 400-450 HP out of it.
And if the Esprit replacement comes in no heavier then 1150Kg
(2500 LBS).

They could have one serious fast car.

Crossposting - against the rules. Since the general impression is the new car will NOT be carrying the Esprit name - I will lock this one and leave the post in General Lotus...
