Lotus gone all-electric. Emira will be last ICE Lotus.

The first Tesla Roadster was based on the Lotus Elise.

Thus endeth Lotus. Had been thinking about an older Evora for quite a while, but this move, announced a couple years back, was a huge turnoff for both practical and personal reasons. So I bought a new Corvette. Quite a lot to be said for high-compression, normally aspirated small block Chevy engine, and the damned thing puts a huge smile on my face every time I take it out (which is alot more frequently than I’d thought would be the case...). An ICE Lotus would be nice too, but I’ve ZERO interest high performance EV’s (driven a few Teslas). The tech is amazing (if overwhelming), but they’re not sports cars.

They actually provided a lot of the design for the original Tesla Roadster. They have been close to EVs longer than almost anybody.

Somehow I cannot imagine #6 driving an EV, with all its monitoring.

"THEORY 1"???? What the hell kind of a name is that?

Might as well call it "CONCEPT 1". That's been popular over the years for all kinds of things.

How about "LAME-BRAINED IDEA 1"? That fits....

My sports car days are way past, but if I were still interested, it would have to be a car with a throaty, angry sound of a V-8.
