Lotus Cars
The British have exceeded themselves with Lotus simply because their automobiles are so beautiful. The best part is that Lotus vehicles are quite uncommon, so you'll always be the focus of attention when you arrive in one. This British automotive company is based in Norfolk and was founded in 1948 by Colin Chapman. Lotus Cars have scooped many race wins including the Monaco Grand Prix in 1960, with a Lotus 18 piloted by Stirling Moss.
As well as sports car manufacture, the company also acts as an engineering consultancy, providing engineering development—particularly of suspensions- for other car manufacturers. Lotus's powertrain department is responsible for the design and development of the 4-cylinder Ecotec engine found in many of GM's Vauxhall, Opel, Saab, Chevrolet and Saturn cars. The US Lotus Elise and Exige models used the 1.8L VVTL-i I4 from Toyota's late Celica GT-S and the Matrix XRS both of which are no longer available new. The new Exige has the same V6 engine as its bigger counterpart the Evora and is not available in the US as a road-legal vehicle.
Their most popular launches are definitely their Lotus Elise and Lotus Evora models, but we should also mention the Lotus Excel because they’ve really turned up the heat with this launch. Needless to say, if you’re looking for quality and exclusiveness, you should definitely go for a Lotus.
