Lotus begins testing on new LF-A fighter. 5 wheel ultra steering (WUS) is being introduced as part of a revolutionary new drive system, its lightweight aluminium body features a rigid roll cage. Seating arraignment allows for one + one seating; tho don't expect to fit any more then a baby in the rear seat. Prices will start in upwards of a billion dollars and are expected to go even higher for a hardtop model. Slated for release in 2012, lotus hopes to bring in a new family of buyers into the supercar(t) niche.

New from Lotus, it is greener than a Prius, five steerable wheels help it turn on a dime, and it has more room than an Exige...

"Lotus sells few enough cars in 2009 they decide to enter the U.S. shopping cart market. But, the company is pinching pennies so much they launch the product with a picture of employee in a driveway."

When she heard that many F1 drivers start in karting, Prudence Greensweater thought she'd give it a try. Regrettably, though, she has a habit of getting confused easily.
