Unveiled this past June, at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the all-new 3-Eleven, is advertised as being the quickest production Lotus road car, ever. In a recent press release, it was announced that the high-performance roadster successfully completed a two-week, 2,000 kilometer test session, in Germany, at the formidable Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit.

Areas of focus included aerodynamics, engine calibration, suspension geometry, and chassis tuning. Built to embody the perfect demonstration of...
 

While Top Gear has said goodbye to its bombastic host, Jeremy Clarkson's acerbic evaluations of top tier sports cars are still well worth watching.

Back in 2010, he test drove the Lotus Evora, and quite frankly, it blew him away.

Though he had a few criticisms about the interior, it's hard to hear them over his whooping and gleeful laughter. "This is handling by telepathy!" he cried, noting the pocket-sized sports car's precision steering.

Clarkson layered on the metaphors with typical English wit. "It's the only car I've ever driven-- ever-- which is a killer…

For the second year in a row, Lotus had a presence at Malaysian Night, the largest event celebrating Malaysian culture in the UK.

If you happened to be in Trafalgar Square last Friday between noon and 10pm, you would have been treated to a vibrant display of Malaysian music, food, and entertainment in a bustling crowd of around 53,000 attendees.

As part of Malaysia's DRB-HICOM Group, Lotus made an appearance with a…

For this edition of Throwback Thursday, we're highlighting and old classic, the Lotus Esprit Turbo SE.

A replacement to the Europa, the Esprit was unveiled at the Paris Auto Show in 1975. First-generation models featured 2.0-liter engines that created 160 horsepower. By the fourth generation (exhibited in the video), SE models were capable of 280 horsepower on overboost, from a 2.2-liter turbocharged inline-four.

Enjoy this beautifully shot video of an Esprit SE navigating the streets of Warsaw, Poland.

When it comes to insane stunts, it would probably be one thing to jump a Lotus F1 car over a car hauler. Flip the scenario, however, and jump the car hauler over the car, and you're reaching the upper echelons of lunacy.

And that's just what the EMC and Lotus F1 team did. Watch the team set a Guinness World-Record in an effort to "redefine motorsports."

When it comes to Jay Leno, the World Imports USA team has to admit, we're rather jealous of what the retired late night host has hiding away in his garage. But, why wouldn't our team be jealous? Especially now, considering that he has a fully restored 1966 Lotus Elan 26R sitting in it. In the video below, take a look at how Leno and his team of gearheads worked together to bring a Lotus Elan 26R back to life: First having debuted in 1963 as a small sports car, the Elan was designed to conquer

It's been some time since the Lotus Evora 400 received some love from the automaker. Thankfully, after nearly six years, the automaker has decided to treat the Evora 400 to a delightful refresh. Though, with more than two-thirds of the parts being new, is it truly a refresh? Or, is it an all-new vehicle? Either way, Lotus has begun referring to the Evora 400 as its "Flagship Supercar." Catch a glimpse of the all-new Evora 400 as it hits the track in the video below: Redesigned to give it a mor
