Making its official global debut at the British Motorshow in London on July 22nd, the first all-new car from Lotus since the iconic Elise in 1995, will enter the sportscar market as the only mid-engined 2+2 in production.
The new car, which is known only by its project name 'Eagle', is an addition to the Lotus lineup, and does not replace any existing model. The car, the name for which will be announced at the British Motorshow on 22nd July is powered by a 3.5-litre V6 producing 280 PS. The new car employs innovative lightweight chassis technology in keeping with the great Lotus tradition.
