The Lotus Esprit of the new millennium is not yet born, but apparently the British manufacturer is already thinking about its extreme variant: as reported by AutoExpress, the model in question would be able to exceed 340 km / h and sprints from 0 to 100 in less than 3 seconds. The English text has had the opportunity to meet Wolf Zimmermann, a former technical director at AMG hours Hethel, which revealed many interesting colleagues to advance the future of the brand.
Lotus Elise, not only will create a new generation, but will give shape to the gigantic New Plan was finalizing plans for the Esprit, the Elite, the Eternal, the supermini Ethos (sort of rival to the Aston Martin Cygnet) and Elan, which replace the Evora, but only in 2017. It seems indeed that there will be room for two additional variants of the Esprit, a plaque and a roadster.
But back to our Esprit "brutal". According to the previews, its 4.8 V8 could gain fifty horses, from 570 to 620, delivered to 9000 rpm, while its aluminum frame will receive important structural changes designed to improve the characteristics of lightness and stiffness. Precisely this point is dear to Zimmermann, who wishes to specify how the proposal will not be lightened just a variant of the Esprit.
