When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

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.

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

When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box

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?
