Lotus celebrating 60 years of being in business



Wow. Lotus is 60 years old. It seems just like yesterday when they were just a young tiny upstart. Now they're an old tiny upstart...
My how time flies...

To celebrate this historic event, of the business which was started by Colin Chapman in 1948, Lotus will introduce their long-rumored Eagle 2+2 GT at the London Motor Show this June.

"Eagle 2+2 GT?" What an American-like name coming from a car company that's sooooo British...  Even more strange, in some markets it may be called the 'Ethos.' Regardless of how it's labeled, it will be powered by a mid-mounted Toyota V6.

This sounds yummy. I hope they use the 2GR-FSE as a starting point. It'll be fast and efficient. A green supercar. :)

Lotus should be commended to sticking with their engineering philosophy since day 1. There are few production cars as light and agile as Lotii.

More Lotus cars is always good but I wish they would use a Honda or a Mazda engine instead of a Toyota.
 
More soul.
