Lotus Engineering, engaged in the development of sports cars, as well as their optimization, reducing weight, reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, will develop the car.
The prototype for the new model can serve as Toyota Venza, but Lotus is 38% lighter while retaining some elements of the exterior and interior design of their donor, but adding a few new security systems and components that enhance engine performance.
The lounge will add seats, whose weight will be reduced by 50%, controls for climate, navigation electronics. The chassis and suspension components should be reduced, also reduced glazing models, including reducing the windshield.
It is planned that some of the welded joints of the body will be replaced by adhesive that will significantly reduce the costs of organizing production.
Developments are already finished, and by 2017 to begin serial production of passenger Lotus in 2020, and then begin designing the next car models of the company.
