The new 3.5 litre V6 Lotus has been spotted testing at the notorious Nürburgring Nordschleife. The mid-engined supercar is undergoing testing with Yokohama at their new dedicated Nurburgring test centre...more photos and words...

What I want to know is... why not call it the new Esprit? 2+2 MR V6... c'est natural!

I hope they improve the styling before it's released

The new Esprit is on the way, and will be, as before, a mid-engined rear drive two seater supercar.

Got to say that as disguises go, that sucks....

I know that Lotus is famous for building fantastic cars on a limited budget of 5p. Clearly it doesnt extend to the disguise which was knocked up by the local school children as a bit of project fun.

They're not giving much away are they - I reckon we can safely say that the aerodynamics weren't being tested today I hope this ends up being a fantastic car I so want lotus to do well
