2013 Lotus Elan

The next new Lotus to arrive after the Esprit will be the Elan, which is scheduled to enter the market during the Autumn of 2013.





Power will come from a mid-mounted 4.0 litre V6 and, despite the packaging issues that such a layout presents, there will be a 2+2 seating configuration available.







With a price tag in the region of £75,000, there’s really only one car that the Elan will measured against: the Porsche 911.
