Hot Wheels will be celebrating its 40th anniversary next year and to commemorate the event, Hot Wheels approached Lotus and other companies to produce a vehicle that embodies its own engineering philosphy and brand. Lotus came up with this stunning open-top two seat sports car concept.

Lotus Exige S model

The Lotus Exige, appreciated by purists of the guide for his proverbial agility, builds the trick and Geneva shows aerodynamic improvements that help to increase performance while reducing consumption and pollutant emissions. For the rest, the sport with the effigy of the lotus flower remains true to itself and is preparing to debut on the market in a Model Year 2010 in the month of May. Looking at the front of the car you can see the openings for the inlet from the more generous dimensions and a spoiler that extends across the lower front to divert the air from the front wheels.

In the back is mounted a new wing and larger places with attacks at both ends. This includes the design shown in the Lotus at the Geneva Motor Show in 2007 on the Exige GT3 concept and provides a value of 42 kg of downforce at the speed of 160 km / h.

The aerodynamic improvements, combined with the lightness of the car which, thanks to the aluminum chassis, it weighs considerably less than 1000 kg, allowing consumption to get interesting when compared to the performance of the Exige S: 8.5 liters of gasoline to travel 100 km in combined cycle. In addition, help to reduce CO2 emissions to a value of 199 grams per kilometer. In 2009, the philosophy of Lotus founder Colin Chapman, or to obtain benefits through the light, it shows very current and in line with the spirit that pervades ecologista car.

Lotus Evora

Lotus Evora - Test Drive the Lotus Evora brand new and shiny metallic color echo in the sports car.A wink strip positioned in a higher price than before. Designed for adult audiences, but an easy and intuitive, attractive to drivers, but certainly stable cornering and powerful braking.
Compared with the past, a lower threshold and the highest seat, leather seat also sports a comfortable leg and stretched comfortably on the pedals to try. Cockpit designed to accommodate the average of the highest, but from the outside is difficult to believe that Evora has four seats. Lotus coach spent several minutes explaining to the hidden box and the steering wheel on to explain that the leadership in the field of sports, the shorter high-speed transmission and limited the power of traction control.
More than four thousand rpm on the V6 engine of 3500cc, produced by Toyota, lozenges friendly through dirt and remind us that Evora require fast speed, can reach 100 km / h from rest in just 5 seconds. 280 horses are not a few, but high speed stability is guaranteed by the ultra-light magnesium communicate hydraulically assisted steering great feeling just a few minutes to feel the secondary ruler and began to experience driving pleasure we kept hearing about. It 's time to leave the ring and face a more motivated, full of curves, up and down the hill between two consular posts. It 'time for lunch, quiet and practical way to try to drown the gas to conscience requires us to slow down.
In a crisis by using traction control, which is barely noticeable, with the electronic distribution of braking and traction el'ABS, while remaining accurate and stable cornering, even on uneven stretch. Aluminum chassis, low and hard (twice the "old" Elise), in addition to making responsive and agile, is modular and provide additional passive safety: the front and rear designed to absorb impact energy, dall'abitacolo with occupants at the time deviandola accident . The project was born from the philosophy of the classic Lotus Evora obtain optimum performance from the balance of the parties, but pointed to greater self-super-flexibility of the twenty-first century.
