    Lotus - Q3 results

    Rumors of another variant or engine has been whispered for a few weeks. I don't think it will be enough to generate the sales needed to sustain the Hethel factory. How many more affordable cars are North America and Euro/UK going to buy after this amazing 20yr+ sportscar party? The selection...

    Matt Windle leaves Lotus

    This was a tough role for any exec. I met Matt at the Emira launch at Galpin Lotus. I wish him well in his future pursuits. I think automotive manufacturing in England, for 'volume' sportscars, is coming to an end. They are simply rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic, IMHO. To most...

    Introducing the QUADloc for Lotus Emira V6 & Turbo

    The factory rool hoop is behind the plastic trim. This is what gave me the confidence to use the Delrin Cam Lock rods as our Primary antirotation device. See below: Ambidexterous chassis is the reason for the child seat anchors.
