[admin]

This is the mid-engined, four-seat Lotus GT codenamed 'Eagle'. The spy image shows how the car is both wider and longer than an Elise, with much of the length being added to the rear of the car. The front end appears to have a more steeply sloping front

I was just squinting at the photo trying to make it out, I can tell it is a car (of some sort) and that is about it!

Could someone over there kindly get us a better shot please?

Here's a lighter shot:

Thanks Mark.

It looks like it has a Ferrari 360 Modena style rear air intake just above the (prominent) door handle.

Could be just cammoed to look like that though.

I knew it......its a Lotus wrapped in Ferrari clothing. Sneaky bastards! :lol:

I would say its nothing like we expect it to look like, they have to vent the air in from somewhere so my bet this is well camoed too. Would be cool if it did have a similar ferrari intake though.
Everytime they highlight that M250 was canned cause of US laws makes me cringe :(. :thumbdown: I bet I am one in a mill who feels this way. This car should have got off the ground.

Anyway onwards and upwards to better things :)

I think whoever applies the camo tape over at Lotus likes Eddie Van Halen.

:thumbup::lol: I am 20 yrs too late for him, but he can rock my boat anyday!!

[GregWO]

that pic of eddie is from 1984 i think... I guessing Eddie is much older than you... :icon18: :yes:

[Autocross7]

Yea, he a bit heavy, grey hair and balding, and on his 2nd liver I think these days...

The time points to the Eagle and I might be wrong but that really looks like a 2 seater to me. I hope it's not the new Esprit!

[Autocross7]

Could be a newer Europa? Either way, from the photo it does not appear that a real back seat is in there - looks like it could be +2 with very limited leg room like a Ferrari GT4... but it is a photo...

I think it's the new Elite, remember its a 2+2 so the rear seats are only for small children and emergency adult use.

The Lamborghini Urraco was a nice looking rear engined 2+2 IMO.
