Lotus Eterne

Automobiles

The Lotus Eterne was a four-door, four-seat sports GT that Lotus showed as a concept at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. It was one of five new cars, together with the Esprit, Elan, Elite and Elise, that the Lotus chief executive Dany Bahar unveiled there as the start of a new era for the company. Lotus described it as a stand-alone creation and not an evolution of an existing two-door model, aimed at the market for a four-door super saloon. The company quoted a 5.0 litre pressure-charged V8 engine delivering up to 620 PS, with hybrid technology and an optional KERS energy recovery system, rear-wheel drive and a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Its claimed figures were a top speed of about 315 km/h and 0 to 100 km/h in about four seconds, for a kerb weight of around 1,800 kg. The Eterne stayed a show car: after Bahar left the company, none of the Paris range was built.
