    Those designs absolutely suck. It's just a smooth gallardo-esque toy car.

    Give it some damn character. On the good side.. I highly doubt these are Lotus' official drawings.. so it's safe for now.

    First lines on the article are that Lotus has decided on the final shape of the car...
    Maybe the Bronze one is it. The rear looks to carry some shape characteristics...

    The pics on the 1st post are just Gallardos with Elise/Exige bits chopped on

    If they make that paice of shit and disgrace the name of the Esprit, they should all be castrated. It doesn't look original at all; it is like a combination of an Exige and a Gallardo. That said, you guys are probably right in thinking that those aren't official Lotus... I hope they change their minds and use a four.

    It may look like the Gallardo, but the Esprit has always looked like Lamborghinis, I don't see what's wrong with that. Post #1 pic #4 is the design as seen in CAR magazine, it has a single piece taillight too.

    The grey one is a test mule running on the Ring in last gen Espirit bodywork. Unless you were being sarcastic

    I like it. Lotus is such an awesome company *dreamy look as I daydream of owning a Lotus*
