| | Hot News: Volkswagen to Build Lotus Elise Rival | | 2008-07-21 08:49:00 | | Volkswagen has resurrected plans for an affordable, mid-engined coupe and roadster as part of an image building campaign as it sets about fulfilling its ambitious target of selling over five million cars a year by 2018.According to Volkswagen chairman, Martin Winterkorn, the company is planning to unveil a concept version of a lightweight two-seater at the LA motor show in November.

| More images of the the Lotus 'Eagle' released | | 2008-07-17 05:56:00 | | Lotus gave up some initial details about the 2+2(ish) tentatively known as the "Eagle" yesterday, and now Autocar has procured a few more shots of the coupe ahead of its unveiling at the London Motor Show next week.Just to put the Eagle's dimensions into perspective, its wheelbase is approximately 275mm (about 13 inches) longer than the Elise/Exige, or slightly shorter (80mm) than the Porsche 911. The extra space makes for a more livable cabin for at least two of its occupants and allows Lotus to use the international automotive metric for measuring capacity – it can fit one golf bag in the boot.As previously reported, a 3.5-liter Toyota-sourced V6 will send 276 hp and 250 lb.-ft. of torque through a Toyota-derived six-speed transmission that's been re-engineered by Lotus with a new clutch and a revised gear set. The Eagle's weight is estimated at just over 3,000 pounds.According to Autocar, Lotus plans an eight-year life cycle for the Eagle, and a convertible version will be releas | | By: Car News | | |

| | 2008 British Motor Show: Lotus Eco Elise | | 2008-07-12 10:29:00 | | Lotus unveils the Eco Elise technology demonstrator at the British Motor Show, capitalising on great strides forward in green technology.The Eco Elise project promotes a different perspective on “green”, one which does not revolve solely around tailpipe CO2. This holistic approach is in keeping with the progressive Lotus culture, driving Lotus to become the world’s green automotive consultancy.Sustainable materials, hemp, eco wool and sisal have been developed for body panels and trim and, combined with hi-tech water based paint solutions, showcase new affordable green technologies. The green credentials of the technology on show in the Eco Elise have been analysed throughout the lifecycle of the car.A green gear change display has been integrated into the dashboard to promote greener driving as well as a weight reduction programme, illustrating the holistic approach taken.

| Lotus verde | | 2008-07-11 06:00:00 | | A Lotus apresentou a sua abordagem a um desportivo ecológico utilizando o Elise como base. E tem o pormenor que não olha só para o que sai do escape – que infelizmente, é a única coisa que preocupa a maioria dos fabricantes, governos e ecomentais.Utiliza materiais sustentáveis como tintas de base de água, lã ecológica, sisal e canhamo (sim, o derivado do canabis). Inclui também um indicador de mudança de velocidade (por forma a melhor utilizar a potencia do motor de forma ecológica) e uma dieta de 32kg. Dispõe também de um painel solar no tejadilho para alimentar alguma electrónica. Factor curioso é que este protótipo é baseado no Elise base, mas consegue ter melhores performances que o modelo S e redução de emissões. Admiro este carro por 2 razões. Consegue chatear os ecologistas, porque é um desportivo (logo poluidor) mas é ecológico logo não podem protestar muito. E demonstra também que tecnologias verdes não têm que ser necessariamente caras e compli | | By: Quatro rodas e um volante! | | |

| | Lotus Releases The Eco Elise To Showcase Its Green Ideas | | 2008-07-10 07:20:00 | | Lotus is widely recognised for the superb dynamic behaviour of its cars, due to fine engineering, low weight and efficient engines. Despite the fact that many Lotus cars with their 1.8-liter engines defy V8 machines on the track, the British company decided to present to the world at the British Motor Show even better ways to reduce weight and save fuel.Based on the already light Elise S (860 kg), the Eco Elise manages to be 32 kg lighter, removing 15.8 kg out from the wheels alone - not even the audio system escaped the weight reduction effort. Considering the engine is the same 1.8-litre Toyota that generates 134 bhp, this 4% reduction in weight will help the car's already amazing 0-to-100-km/h time of 6.1s be even better, as well as give it a slightly higher top speed. Even so, since the idea is to be greener, the Eco Elise should present better fuel consumption figures than the Elise S offers, which are already hard to beat for any sports car: 8.9 km/l in the city and 15.4 km/h on | | By: Autoshows | | |

| | Lotus Clark Type-25 Elise SC Special Edition | | 2008-06-06 17:00:00 | | Lotus is releasing its first special edition supercharged Elise, the Clark Type 25 Elise SC, to honor legendary F1 driver Jim Clark who died four decades ago at the Hockenheim circuit. The British Racing Green and yellow color combo was inspired by Clark's Type 25 F1 car in which he won the world championship in 1963, and aside from the standard hardtop, black and silver Lotus racing wheels, black leather seats, red trim and wooden shift knob, this is the same Elise SC available abroad. No mechanical changes have been made, so it's still putting out 218 hp and 156 lb.-ft. of torque from its supercharged 1.8-liter mounted amidships. In tribute to Clark's racing number, Lotus is limiting production of the special edition Elise SC to 25 units and will only make the £35,995 coupe available in the UK and Ireland.

| | Spy Shots: Lotus Esprit nearing completion | | 2008-05-24 07:58:00 | | With its 60th anniversary rolling around the corner, Lotus isn't about to coast down the straightaway. After years of relying on Elise derivatives – including the Exige, 2-Eleven and Europa – the world-renowned gurus of handling are preparing two completely new models: the Eagle – a new 2+2 GT – and the return of the Esprit – the hardcore, Ferrari-battling supercar.After seeing numerous spy shots of the former, a test mule for the latter has emerged, giving us a glimpse at how the top-of-the-line Lotus is shaping up. The Esprit's design is tipped to be quite different from other Lotus models. But while the platform will be distinct from that of the compact Elise, Lotus' new Variable Vehicle Architecture will be malleable for future applications as well... although, with such a diverse sportscar range zooming over the horizon, we wonder what else Lotus has got in store.Sources claim power for the new Esprit will come from BMW – not an in-house engine like the previous Espri | | By: Car News | | |

| | Spy VIDEO: Lotus Eagle tackles the 'Ring | | 2008-05-15 20:06:00 | | The London Motor Show is coming up quick and that means Lotus engineers are working overtime to get the Eagle ready for its time in the spotlight. A video of Lotus' new 2+2 doing its thing on the 'Ring surfaced today that gives us a very brief glimpse of some of the Eagle's details. The cloaked prototype's Metallic Persian Blue mirrors are peaking through the camo, and it appears that the tail lamps are remarkably close to the units fitted on the Elise/Exige. The more we look at this oft-spied prototype, the more we're imagining an Elise that's been upsized by about 30-percent. The bulging fenders, low front end and ducktail spoiler all lend credence to that assumption, but we somehow doubt that Lotus' designers would be that lazy. Regardless, we'll have to wait another couple of months before we get an eyeful of the Eagle. [Source: Pistonheads] | | By: Car News | | |
| | The Hottest Lotus Exige 270E Tri-fuel | | 2008-05-14 22:37:44 | | The Lotus Exige is a two-door, two-seat sports car made by Lotus Cars.
It is a coupe version of the Lotus Elise, which is a roadster. It has made its
debut at the 2007 Los Angeles Auto Show in January 2006. In February 2006,
Lotus announced a limited production run of 50 Exiges, using the Toyota engine with a super
charger. It is only available in yellow and black.

| | First Drive: 2008 Lotus Elise Supercharged | | 2008-04-23 07:32:00 | | This year's high-performance headlines are all about Nissan's gigantus GTR, like 2008 Lotus Elise Supercharged a two-ton nuke lobbed at Newton's laws of physics. Meanwhile, way below the fold in mouse type we read that Lotus has quietly strengthened its longstanding alliance with fellow Brit, Sir Isaac, by introducing an Elise with Exige S power and 63 fewer pounds worth of "resistance to motion."Granted, a lightened Lotus is no newsflash, but there's quite a bit more to this one than appears at first blush. For one thing, the engine is quite different from the Exige S's. Both start off as Toyota 2ZZ-GE 1.8-liters, but you'll note right off that there's no intercooler and air scoop blocking the rear window of this one. Instead, an entirely new intake manifold by Magnuson incorporates an Eaton M45 Roots-type supercharger that blows a slight boost directly into the intake runners with no detour through a heat-exchanger. This setup shaves 17.6 pounds off the engine's weight, at a cost of | | By: Autoshows | | |

| | Lotus Exige S by 'Union Jack' | | 2008-03-31 11:59:00 | | The Lotus Exige must be one of the most curvy car designs pounding our roads at present. So when Discovery Channel’s popular series ‘How Do They Do It?’ needed a donor car to show how a professional team wraps vehicles in all manner of advertisements and murals, they chose a difficult specimen in the Exige.A team of four expert technicians took 10 hours to completely wrap the Exige in its new red, white and blue livery and the Lotus is said to be a real crowd pleaser on the track.Mike Kimberley, CEO of Group Lotus commented, “At Lotus we pride ourselves in spearheading the development of technology in the vehicle market and working on this project was a truly unique opportunity. Lotus Design captured a very special element of our heritage with the brief, ‘great British racing’.

| | Geneva Motor Show 2008: Lotus adds Europa SE for 2008 | | 2008-03-05 08:08:00 | | As we reported earlier, Lotus has a new range of Europas for 2008, at least in their eponymous market. Still not coming to the States as far as we've heard, but with the "Eagle" already soaring, we think we can wait. Not that the Europa is a bad car, but the new model should be even better. Until the Eagle lands, however, the European market still has the perfectly adequate Europa and a new Europa SE. The Europa SE is here in Geneva and it has some spiffy new wheels, 17-inch in front, 18-inch out back. It's painted in a sort of monochrome fashion that makes us think of the '80s for some reason too. There's also a real (for Lotus at least) interior that is swathed in leather. The idea was to make it a bit more comfortable for the few people who are thinking of purchasing one. The car's 2.0L turbo four remains basically the same, but here it's tuned to 225 hp and 221 lb.-ft. of torque. Expect a 0-60 mph in 5.5 seconds and a top end of 143.

| | | Lotus Exige 270E TriFuel at Geneva Motor Show | | 2008-03-02 14:38:00 | | Interesting times indeed for the world that even a purist automaker like Lotus is getting ready to mesmerise mother nature as it reveals the Exige 270E Tri-fuel. Tri-fuel runs on methanol, bioethanol and petrol/gasoline. It has a top Vbox reading of 255km/h, having dispatched the 0 - 100km/h time in 3.88 seconds.Both methanol and bioethanol contain a significant amount of pure alcohol, which basically means the more your car can drink, the better life will be for the environment. Lotus is betting that this happens, particularly in sync with widespread availability of the fuels worldwide. This is the part that might hamper the Lotus Exige 270E Tri-fuel’s progress.The Lotus Exige 270E Tri-fuel dons a 1.8-litre engine which, with the help of a mechanical blower (aka supercharger), dispenses 270 bhp – hence the name – or 201kW at 8000rpm and 260Nm, making it the most potent road Lotus out there.

| | Lotus Annouces New Hybrid And Electric Vehicle Group | | 2008-02-24 11:47:00 | | Behind the scenes, Lotus is much more than a low-volume manufacturer of sporty little roadsters. Along with Lotus Cars, Group Lotus houses Lotus Engineering. With decades of motorsports experience, Lotus Engineering offers consulting expertise to automotive suppliers and OEM manufacturers. They've even made their mark in the world of cycling. More recently, their close work with Tesla as the supplier of the Roadster's chassis must have had some influence on the next direction of the firm, as they have now announced the creation of a new Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Group. Lotus hopes the move will further expand its consulting reach.The newly-anointed Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Group is already busy with project Low CO2. The initiative is a collaborative effort with automotive supplier Continental.

| | Lotus Esprit... tapado! | | 2007-10-22 12:50:00 | | A revista Autoexpress Inglesa, tirou uma foto ao que será o futuro super-Lotus, a re-edição do saudoso Esprit, durante a sua última visita à fábrica da marca. O que sabemos é que irá ter um V8 da BMW na posição central, irá existir uma versão cábrio, e que podemos esperar por ele em 2009. Deposito muita confiança no sucesso deste Esprit, em parte por ser um mega-fã da Lotus, e outra parte porque ficava bem ao James Bond ;) | | By: Quatro rodas e um volante! | | |

Botanically, Nelumbo nucifera (Gaertn.) may also be referred to by its former names, Nelumbium speciosum (Wild.) or Nymphaea nelumbo. This plant is an aquatic perennial, but if its seeds are preserved under favorable circumstances, they may remain viable for many years. In Ancient Egypt, Nelumbo nucifera was unknown, being introduced only at the time of the Persian invasions, late in ancient Egyptian history. The ancient Egyptians venerated the blue water-lily, Nymphaea caerulea, which was sometimes known as the "blue lotus" or "sacred lotus". N. nucifera was native to a huge area from modern Vietnam to Afghanistan, being spread widely as an ornamental and food plant. In 1787 it was first brought into horticulture in Western Europe as a stove-house water-lily under the patronage of Joseph Banks and can be seen in botanical garden collections where heating is provided. Today it is rare or extinct in the wild in Africa but widely naturalized in southern Asia and Australia, where it is commonly cultivated in water gardens. It is the National Flower of India and Vietnam."Kingdom: Plantae Phylum: Magnoliophyta Class: Magnoliopsida Order: Proteales Family: Nelumbonaceae Genus: Nelumbo Species: N. nuciferaPictures , Photos and Videos of the Lotus Flower: | | By: Gold Speculator | | |

Overall they have a world class collection it was however not presented the best it could have been. That is all I am going to say about it. I got in free because we have a membership at the New York Botanical Garden and it was $12 to park. Afterwards I noticed that there was some free on street parking available.This is a different cultivar of Lotus and it was quite pretty also.Even the buds looked good. â€You must be a lotus, unfolding its petals when the sun rises in the sky, unaffected by the slush where it is born or even the water which sustains it!â€Sai BabaHere is a link to an article on the spiritual meaning of the Lotus flower atCosmicLotus.org | | By: Digital Flower Pictures.com | | |

Racked off with lagging behind their northern hemisphere counterparts in the jam sandwich department, police in Sydney have laid their hands on an Exige to assist their fight against crime. Having been inspired by the good bobbies of Norfolk, who were donated an Elise to help round up the Fen lowlifes, the New South Wales police force plan to use their Exige to, erm, encourage locals to slow down."The Lotus Exige will help break down barriers between our officers and youth in the area. It gives them a discussion point and a way of breaking the ice," said Superintendent Dave Darcy."We have a large proportion of car enthusiasts in the area and it is a challenge to influence them to drive safely. Whilst its easy to give this group tickets to slow them down, we would prefer to influence young drivers to take care on the roads."Quite how one of one of the quickest | | By: AutoBeat | blog Auto news, reviews, concepts, auto | | |
