Be a guest at ReVerie's launch party

Lotus 340R with ReVerie hardtop

Next week sees the launch of ReVerie's long-awaited hard-top for the Lotus 340R. It's been under development for almost five years.

Interested parties and potential customers are gathering at the company's premises next Wednesday for the launch party -- and it's by prior arrangement only so get your bids to attend in now.

At the party, you'll have a chance to check out the hard top fitted to a customer car, as well as other carbon fibre products for your Lotus.

[kingb]

that looks good and sets it apart from other track toys like the radical or a seven
could give it the advantage as a slightly more usable toy

[Mr_C]

not keen.

[PascalBuyens]

Can't see the point of it, you'd be buying a roofless, doorless car in the first place anyway...

It's a go-cart - with a brolly.

[Narvanath]

... nope ... I be wrong ... it be a brolly with wheels ...

What a great idea - it can only make the car more useable and versatile for those lucky enough to have one.

[anonymous-user]

Gives it a look of a Dax Kamala / Dare DZ.

Not sure I like it from the pic, but you're right... apart from the bomb in the back. Starts to make a 300bhp Honda converted one look like a very, very amusing option.

[steff]

A bit pointless surely?

I'm sure its very well engineered etc but I cant really see there being a market for it.

[Mr MoJo]

Understand the point of it but not sure whether it looks right or not. Doesnt quite match the rest of the car somehow.

[venom500]

Hardtop looks fantastic!

[4WD]

Nice idea, however isn't the 340 already too lardy. It also looks like a mushroom now.

I'd still prefer a caterham, and that's not exactly eye candy.

Someone build a *tiny* hardtop for the Radical!

Yeah

[Aero8]

Pointless...

I had a 340R. It was designed to be minimal, ended up far too heavy and now they stick a roof on it. Why?

The car was the worse I had ever owned by a very long margin, badly designed and I would never buy a Lotus again because of it...
