I know there are more than a few Lotus fans on here so I thought this might be of interest. Here is the first offical photo of the Lotus Eagle.



More details can be found here.

Sorry but it looks like nothing more than a stretched Elise

 

Ooh, that's Lotus-cute.

Rear window is reminiscent of a Rover 55 hatchback (RDX60; stillborn) and the hip line is very Acura GT5000 and there's a lot of C3 'Vette in that wasp waist.

Sort of a return to good old fashioned elegance!

 

I quite like that, though my first thought is "Ford Cougar".

 

Front wheels are too far back

The wheels also look wierdly small.

 

What! Mercury Cougar, as if:

 

With bigger rims in white or yellow, that will look pretty tasty I think. I think they're targetting the Cayman with this car, and if looks are anything to go by, I certainly know which I'd rather have. I'm sure the handling will be sorted, but I am concerned about the interior'sgoing to look like though!

Have they got a Lexus V6 in it? I can't remember. The website ( http://www.facelesspeople.com ) doesn't go live for a few days yet.

 

It's kind of Ferrari like, I quite like it

 

Side windows are a bit Koenegsigeifjeifoiewnfnfeig.

 

Yep Lexus/Toyota 3.something ltr V6 as I read in the Sunday times bit, will be unveiled at ExCel shortly. Looks great IMO but something not right about the wheels definitely look too small.

 

I would...

I love Lotus, always wanted a Giugiaro Esprit.

As for the wheels I think they look OK but it's not the finished article yet. I think there's been some mention on here before that bigger is not always better when it comes to handling.
