it says forbidden, and the filename indicates the pic is of a Europa anyway.

thread fails to deliver

edit - hmmmm, when are lotus going to release something that doesn't just look like a squished up Elise. do something new!

You can still right click, save target as.

I'm not keen on it either

280bhp should be a laugh in a Lotus.

Granted it's nothing massivly new in the looks dept but I really like it

Kind of lie a mini Lambo/Ferrari/Koenigsegegegeigig hybrid.

olv · 15 Jul 2008 at 23:23

I'd forgotten it was a 2+2. the proportions hide it's size well.

andi · 15 Jul 2008 at 23:24

I like that, got a koenigsegg look to it

Edit: Actually it looks nothing like a Koenigsegg but for some reason it really does remind me of one..

Depends how big the area for the +2 is

Akira · 15 Jul 2008 at 23:24

That looks desperate.

Well it's mid engined aswell so it's got to be at least a bit bigger than it looks.

Begbie · 15 Jul 2008 at 23:36

That looks awesome!

Phate · 15 Jul 2008 at 23:38

Is it me or does that car look like a child grinning cheekily?

Exactly same response from me. Not sure what it is, but I thought the same!

EDIT: I think it's the wrap around windscreen.

LOL, now that you mention it, and for that alone its awesome. I do actually really like the looks of that.

Hyper · 15 Jul 2008 at 23:57

I dont know what it is with Lotus but I have always really liked them.

G_D · 15 Jul 2008 at 23:59

Hhmmm not what i expected, i thought with project eagle we were getting a new esprit? Thats just a 2+2 europa. Am sure lotus know what there doing though, i mean a new esprit would basically have to be like the noble m15 and i cant say i have really seen or heard much about that since it was on top gear a few years ago so maybe thats not what people want? Mind, the europa seems to have gone fairly unnoticed as well?

ken1307 · 16 Jul 2008 at 00:04

that car is a combination of a Maserati GT (rear end), Koenigsegegegeigig (mid body + roof), Ferrari 360/430 (rear air vent), Noble M15 (front end) and front air vents from the old Eclipse

did they run out of ideas or something?
