Matt Windle leaves Lotus

I know this was covered as an update to the thread titled “Matt Windle Promoted,” but easy to miss there, and seems significant enough to deserve its own thread.

+1 for Canada.... Lotus should move manufacturing to here instead of US. We have all the resources to build EV's! At least we can say it stays in the Commonwealth! MultiMatic also worked on the suspension for Evija....

From my understanding Multimatic is pretty much the new Lotus as they work with many OEM's for performance and suspension. - https://www.multimatic.com/

Would be something else if they ventured off and created their own brand, just like Lotus - The Canadian Lotus!

Yes, MM are an excellent company with superb carbon fiber tech/capability and suspension tech. Those DSSV can be found in many cool cars including: FordGT, Purosangue, Colorado Bison, Miata Cup, etc. They are the most sophisticated mechanical shocks out there. MM has supported several OE efforts.
