In today’s episode of #AutomotiveTerritoryDailyNews we will briefly discuss the most important Lotus cars of the upcoming model year, listing their detailed pricing and specs.

We have already covered all major American, Japanese and German automakers’ lineups in 2020, so check out those videos by following the link:
#1 2020 Lotus Evora GT
Unlike many of its major competitors who tend to pack more and more high-tech features into their sportscars, the 2020 Evora GT is all about fully engaging the driver and delivering precise handling.
#2 2020 Lotus EVIJA All-Electric Hypercar
This is the first ever electric car by Lotus and at the same time the first all-new model developed by the brand after the change of ownership. The name Evija was inspired by the Biblical Hebrew language where it means alive.
#3 Lotus Bicycle
Lately it hasn’t been surprising to see car makers trying their hand in production of last mile transportation. Lotus Engineering collaborated with Hope Technology to build the ultimate track bike that is expected to help athletes from the Great Britain Cycling Team.
#4 2020 Lotus Evora GT4 Concept
Though still often referred to as a racecar brand, Lotus has not been taking part in Formula One Racing since 1994. Now, the brand is planning to make a comeback to international motorsports, and their first step in this direction is new 2020 Lotus Evora GT4 concept.
#5 2017 Lotus ELISE CUP 250
Though Lotus ELISE CUP 250 can hardly be called a newcomer to the market, making a debut for 2017, we decided it deserves an honorary mention this year, since it managed to snatch the title the Icon of Icons from the legendary Ford Mustang, Jeep Wrangler and Porsche 911 at the 2019 Autocar Awards.
#6 2019 Lotus EXIGE SPORT 410
Until the arrival of the all-new generation of the Exige, the latest entry to the lineup Sport 410 will remain the freshest model in the range. When it was introduced in 2019, it landed between the Sport 350 and Cup 430.

You know
I will say this, I am American and I love Jeep’s, love them. Most American vehicle to me and people around the world love them. History, War horse, Grandpa, Great Generation, off roading, top down, fun, built not bought, American.
The Lotus to me is perfect British and should be nothing, but British!
Handling, History, engineering, fun, light weight, fast, and fing British!!!!
I have it no other way and I am a Trump Loving Yank!
Lotus is it name, Epic!
It is the Brit can do attitude. It is the Pip pip old boy dandy that you get in a fist fight with and the British Bulldog messes you up!
No Hellcat, Ferrari or Porsche wants anything to do with my modified Lotus.
All Commies must meet their non maker.
No
I think it is awful that a China company holds majority shares.
The west is handing the Communist the fing blade to slit our throats.
I own a older Lotus, but will not purchase a China owned Lotus!
Funny that POS of a Country has unleashed a bio weapon on us all and NO One holds them accountable!
2:55 Wow! What a great sport car
AU19 BHP = 19 Buff Horse Power

BB and noise sports cars have a story! Ha…………………………….https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3B1I0jdeqiPIt36ZPCwusA
Why there's No Evora GT430 ?
Lotus and McLaren are the only ones who do not make SUVs! Thank you…
I've been buying Lotus cars new from the dealer here in the U.S. since 1996. I was considering getting an Evora GT.
China's leadership (the communist party) has just "nationalized" Saleen that had established a branch in China. That was a stupid thing to do. I do not trust any large purchase coming out of that country. I don't know how their leadership could take that kind of action without considering the fear induced in prospective buyers of chinese products. I just don't follow that logic.
By seizing Saleen's operations, that says "don't trust us, we do not respect private property." I would not buy any Lotus. I feel bad about that, a bit, having been a Lotus owner for so long. But my goodness, what a dumb move.
Real scary.

Lotus should put their Elise on a strict diet. For me it is too fat and heavy now.
I'd love to see an Esprit model again. Still love the look. Not bashing the current line up one bit. While the on paper numbers don't get that many people excited once you have been in one the entire formula makes amazing sense.
yum yum exige omg
the elise needs a high reving inline 4 engine 8000 plus rpm somthing like k20 putting out say 220-250 hp and it will have itself a great car
Lotus is the most challenging manufacturing choice for my dream car.
