nicely thought out - even has a step to allow you to climb into the cockpit.

can't say I like it but it is different.

Yuk! If they're going to make any new cars reinstate the Espirit!!!!!!!

The Hotwheels thing looks terrible imo - that rear wheel is soooo out of proportion and the rubber band tyre .... yuk. It just looks like a concept car which will never reach production ....... at least not in that form anyway.

How about the 2009 Esprit? Yummy

Copied from the article on Pistonheads..

blah,blah,blah........ and rumour has it the finished car could have design cues from the Hot Wheels Concept.

It looks like an angry goldfish from the front and some kind of womans shoe from the side. Don't like it.

When I saw this thread, I thought - oh not another version of the Elise, why couldn't they do something sensible Esprit wise. Without checking and assuming above pics are legit and going into production, then fab, I'll join the ownership q a long way back.

From the PH Article:

"To celebrate its 40 th anniversary next year, Hot Wheels approached Lotus with the challenge of producing a vehicle that embodies its own engineering philosophy and brand"

That'll be budget toys, dubious build quality and made in China then. Alledgedly.

Have they told Lambo they're building their cars under a different name?!?!?!

I know imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but that takes the biscuit. What are they going to do next, funky doors and pisspoor rear visability?
