That pic is really really old .... if the issue of Autocar wasn't in the attic then I'd tell you the exact date it appeared. I hope you all know that is just a computer generated image that Autocar made to show what they thought it will loke like.

I wish Lotus had made the M250 the next Esprit instead of killing the project.

I you can manage to dust off your copy of the Feburary Autocar, you will find in the article that they have a few of the designers sketches, and photos of Steve Cropley sitting in the seating buck, and being shown various bits of info on the new car at Lotus.

I don't really think they made it up, I would say that it is a very educated estiamte.

It also talks of how they are considering front engined varients of the chassis to allow them to build front mid engined and 4 seater cars

Edit: Lotus is owned by Proton.

How come every month pictures of a new concept sportscar come out and they all look like the Lamborghini Gallardo?? I hate the styling of all these cars (Gallardo, Lotus Esprit, Toyota also has a concept car this styling). The current Esprit looks great there is no reason to drastically change the looks. Lotus should just upgrade the current Espirt with new engine, suspension, ect.
