![http://www.speedtv.com/_assets/library/img/large/99761_1lot.jpeg](http://www.speedtv.com/_assets/library/img/large/99761_1lot.jpeg) This is supposed to be the new face of the Lotus Esprit, to compete with the Gallardo and Ferrari 430. Rumored to have a V8 Power plant with twin-turbos. What I want to know is, where is the Lotus? All I see is Lambo :shrug: ---

Nope, no mention of price yet. Would guess 120K or so, since that’s what the competition sells for? Don’t quote me. ---
