Lotus, presently working with a fresh chance to take life by the horns under Geely proprietorship, keeps on prodding its larger than life plans for expanding. The principal enormous news came as the Lotus Evija, a highly exclusive electric supercar. Presently, CEO Phil Popham has spilled light subtleties on the following venture.
According to CEO Phil Popham, the next venture, which is planned on to be a more affordable car is intended to come after the Evija and it will serve the far edge of the spectrum, Phil Popham told Bloomberg in an interview.
The Evija will be restricted to 130 vehicles and cost somewhere around $2 million. This anonymous vehicle, however, will serve the purpose of making Lotus vehicle more accessible and will cost somewhere in the range of $67,000 and $110,000. With these speculations can be derived that Lotus is planning to bombard the market with something that though will not be the next passenger vehicle, however, it will also not be something that comes with a sticker price of $2 million, either.
What’s indistinct is the thing that what sort of a sports vehicle this will be as Lotus didn’t promptly react to this question and neither gave any input which may help in solving this query. It should offer space for ordinary use, however, that could mean anything from a fabulous tourer sort of vehicle to something increasingly handy. What we do know is this new model will be the last Lotus with an internal combustion powertrain. From that point
forward, Lotus intends to concentrate on elective powertrains, confirm by the Evija’s all-electric powertrain setup. What’s further being anticipated is that a few prompts from the Evija should advance toward this passage level model, as well.
With the more reasonable model, Lotus aims at creating 5,000 vehicles for each year instead of 1,600, as per Popham. Later on, it seems like the brand isn’t reluctant to handle different sections outside of sports vehicles either. The CEO noted Geely has involvement in different sorts of vehicles and didn’t preclude the rumors going around the arrival of an SUV body style model or a sporty sedan.
Currently, the Lotus lineup consists of only the Evora GT. The prices for the Evora GT initiate at a hefty $96,000. The Evora GT derives its power via a 3.5L supercharged V6 engine, that generates 416 hp and 317 lb.-ft. of peak torque.
