Here is recent Spy shot of the Lotus Esprit, due by December 2009. Lotus is building a new generation of its supercar. It is believed that the new Lotus will have a V8 engine delivering over 400 bhp. The car will be presented at the Geneva Motor Show in 2009 and will be sold at a price around 97.000 euro. The preliminary sketches, by Russel Carr at Lotus, are not the final design but an indication of what the car might look like. Lotus has confirmed the car will be made in England, at the Hethel factory. The car will use a similar Aluminium bonded chassis technology to the Elise, but the car's platform will not be model specific, so it can be used for various Lotus models, this they have call VVA (Variable Vehicle Architecture).
