Lotus Eagle

Lotus adds a pinch of practicality to their sports car line up with the possible unveiling of the Lotus Eagle.  These pictures show the possible vehicle lapping the Nurburgring.  Lotus has confirmed their intentions to unveil a new vehicle at this years London Motor Show as it will be Lotus’ 60^th anniversary.  Suspension and chassis details were released February and the name “Eagle”  was registered in the US by Lotus.  The vehicle is expected to be a 2+2 seat configuration on an expanded Elise frame.  A 300hp Toyota V6 power plant will spin the two back wheels propelling this sure-to-be-lightweight car into the stratosphere.   If you plan on making the Eagle the office-carpool-taxi-mobile you may want to reconsider as the two back seats are supposedly only suitable for small children, brief cases and sub-machine guns.  If you’re in the senior citizen crowd, you’ll be happy to hear that the trunk can in fact accommodate a golf bag.  Look for more information after this years London Motor Show.
