The Lotus Lotus Eterne is one of the five all-new Lotus
concept cars which were unveiled at the 2010 Paris Motor
Show.
The Lotus Eterne is a four door luxury saloon which looks
like an extended wheelbase version of the new
Lotus Elite coupe. That's no coincidence either -
it's supposed to look like a stretched Elite.
Powering the Lotus Eterne is a 5.0 litre V8 engine delivering
up to 620 horsepower and 720Nm of torque.
In keeping with the rest of the new lineup, the Lotus
Eterne concept will feature hybrid technology.
Dany Bahar, Chief Executive Officer of Group Lotus, said:
"The Lotus Eterne is sensational to look and as
with the rest of the range it also over delivers in all
other aspects as well. Similar to the Elite, it's a car
of perfect contradictions, it's compact yet spacious,
high performing yet low emitting, relative lightweight
yet still reassuringly solid. We truly believe that there
is a market for the Lotus Eterne, there is nothing else
like it out there both in terms of design, capacity and
performance. The biggest difference between the Lotus
Eterne and it's class competitors is that it’s not an
evolution of an existing two-door model, it's a deliberate
and considered stand-alone creation. It's the ultimate
four door sports car."
