Except it's not really Lotus, it's the asian team using the Lotus name under license. Lotus-Renault are the actual lotus team.

Maybe it has something to do with this?

And as they didn't own the rights to the Seven name, but they do now, well you just never know

looks interesting some decent touches don't like the front lights though.
Its the wrong lotus though.
Team Lotus bought Caterham

Group Lotus who make the cars (elise etc) dont' have the rights to the seven name.
