The Lotus M250, officially Project M250, was a mid-engined two-seat concept car that Lotus showed at the Frankfurt motor show in 1999 (one reference page dates it 2000). It was conceived as a mini-supercar to fit in the Lotus line-up between the Elise and the Esprit, with a mid-mounted Lotus-developed 3.0 litre V6 engine of around 250 hp driving the rear wheels through a six-speed gearbox. Lotus aimed for an unladen weight below 1,000 kg and a top speed electronically limited to 250 km/h. Unlike the spartan Elise it was to have creature comforts such as air conditioning, central locking and electric windows. The project was meant to reach production, but it was shelved when Lotus decided the car was not fit for the world market, and the M250 never reached production.
