About Lotus
Most British car manufacturers pride themselves with producing classic cars that exudes elegance and sophistication. The built cars that “only a Queen could ride” and yet had the power and capacity to run 0-100 km in mere seconds. Lotus Cars Limited placed itself in defiance to this norm and designed cars that looked fierce and fast.
History
As glamorous and fierce as the designs of Lotus Cars, its history is not as pleasant. In 1980, the Group Lotus, where Lotus Cars Limited belonged, suffered a major financial crisis. Their yearly production of almost 1200 units have been slashed by at least ¾ that crippled the company. This was mainly caused by the economic recession which halted most of its American demands.
By the time the company slowly got back to its feet, they decided to re-enter the American market. Through the help of numerous investors and interested persons, Lotus Performance Cars Inc. was born. It is an American company that breathe life to the Group Lotus. The US market quickly responded and returned their demand for Lotus cars like the old days.
Models

Innovations
