Afternoon all,

I know for a fact that they are going to be releasing something very soon & it's not a Proton with Lotus Suspension break's etc, it's the New Europa

Hi Guy's

It's a Fixed Coupe, word has it that its either got the Toyota or a Vauxhall Engine. it's the car that's been reported in Autocar for sure, it's been spotted on final testing at Norwich, I have this from a very reliable source & don't forget this is the same source as when I got the 240R, an announcement next week

Oooooh I don't think I can wait that long, my pants are fit to burst.....

Hi all,

Keep your Eye on www.lotuscars.co.uk from Tuesday

This car has been seen testing in Malaysia doing hot weather work. I think this is a good move since it would be an excellent latteral alternative to a Cayman or the new Z4 coupe.

Still waiting .......

Haven't found anything on Lotuscars website this morning! Don't know if I can wait much longer. Boggy tell us more!

[boggy]

Afternoon all,

Yes I know there holding back perhaps they've found out we already know

I spoke again to my contact last night & he was puzzled to why they haven't yet done the press release, this Week for sure I might have to dig a little deeper

Hi all,

I thought I would have heard something has anybody else heard anything on this Yet ? My contact said Tuesday ?

[jig]

Still no news - I think Boggy loses his position as chief Lotus spy

[steff]

If its a 4 seater weighing under 1000kgs powered by a v6 driving the rear wheels where do I sign?












and costs under £15k

Morning all,

Yep I know, my man's really let me down with this Scoop this was all meant to be announced last week haven't got a clue on what's happened, this must be down to some changes to the release

Someone on SELOC this morning has mentioned that he's heard that Proton is looking to off-load Lotus now that their CEO has gone and VW has taken a stake... if this is true, perhaps it's thrown them into a tizzy and they're holding off?
