At the same time, however confirmed Bahar important news on the remaining projects. In fact, Lotus Elan will be continuing to work Esprit and EliteWho will share many components, including at least 550 hp V8 engine that Lotus plans to develop on their own (probably starting from the base of the 5-liter Lexus), combined with a sequential gearbox and, optionally a manual for the purists the guide. It will not be provided a double clutch, considered too heavy and complex in order to remain within the threshold of 1500 kg Just to hold the mass, it will make extensive use of aluminum, carbon fiber and plastic materials. Esprit is likely to debut in the final version already at Geneva Motor Show 2012: according to some "evil tongue" would this really the only model in development, beyond declarations and announced projects.

On the "delicate" issue of Elise and Exige, Bahar has however confirmed that the intention is to offer a more user-friendly and practical, designed as a direct competitor of Porsche Cayman and Boxster Spyder: words that perhaps the existing Lotus customers will not appreciate, but which should lead to a significant increased sales in international markets.
