Lotus Replace Evora with Elan in 2017

Bahar also told UK magazine Autocar that Lotus is building its own V8 instead of using Toyota’s unit from the Lexus IS-F, as research from the Paris Motor Show floor concerning the new Esprit revealed that customers were unwilling to pay the price for a $100,000+ supercar powered by a Toyota engine.
The new Esprit will be launched, if everything goes according to plan, in 2013. The new engine, according to Wolf Zimmerman who heads the engineering department, is 40% smaller than the Toyota’s, solving packaging problems. Zimmerman also added that it could form the basis for a new four-cylinder unit, being effectively one bank of the V8, to power smaller models in the range such as the new Elise and Exige.
Bahar also confirmed that the Ethos city car will indeed enter production, selling as a Lotus small-volume luxury small car, probably as a pure EV or a hybrid, in Europe and as a more affordable Proton with conventional internal combustion engines in Asia.

Renault ZOE Review Price Interior Exterior Engine

Specification Information image modification exterior interior price review 2013 Renault ZOE
welcome to Neonista.blogspot.com website that provides a variety of information about the latest cars in the world. and this time we will share information about the Renault Zoe, the following information
ZOE is Renault’s solution to Zero Emission mobility for all. In addition to being a first class choice for everyday use and readily affordable (from just €15,7003) ZOE is the first pure-electric car to be designed from the ground up as such. ZOE is packed with the latest technology and boasts no fewer than six world premieres geared to enhancing user-friendliness, range and connectivity. For the first time, the conditions necessary for the widespread roll-out of electric vehicles are well and truly in place.
ZOE’s final design is being world-premiered at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. Designed as a pure-electric car from the ground up, ZOE is a compact hatchback with sleek, fluid lines. Its agile, dynamic looks express driving enjoyment, while its signature headlights feature LEDs that permanently light up recesses situated either side of the front air intake. Like Twingo and Twizy, ZOE features the Renault brand’s new design identity.
In terms of autonomy, Renault has developed the ‘Range OptimiZEr’, that combines three major innovations (new-generation regenerative braking, a heat pump and MICHELIN EnergyTM E-V tires). Due to this, the range of ZOE is the highest of the electric vehicles in mass production. In the NEDC cycle, ZOE is homologated with a range of 210km. In real conditions, for example, in suburban use, the owner will generally achieve around 100km in cold weather and 150km in temperate conditions.


Renault ZOE Price :
Today, for the first time, it is possible to buy an electric vehicle at a price close to that of a diesel engined city car in markets where tax incentives are available. For example:
>. In France, tax paid prices for Renault ZOE start from €15,700 (with tax incentive of €5,000 deducted).
>. In the Únited Kingdom, where a subsidy of £4,333 is available, tax paid prices for ZOE start from £13,650 (equivalent to €16,450 at current exchange rates).
Even in countries where tax incentives are not currently available, prices for Renault ZOE are still particularly attractive. In Switzerland, for example, ZOE’s catalogue price is CHF 22,800, which is equivalent to approximately €18,900 at current exchange rates).
Renault unveiled the production version of the Zoe all-electric car at the Geneva Motor Show this week, but what sounds most impressive is the car’s price: £13,650 ($21,396 U.S. at today’s exchange rates) after the government incentive of up to 25 percent of the car’s cost in the UK. In France, the car starts at €20,750 ($27,200) but qualifies for a €5,000 ($6,555) grant, which brings the price down to €15,750 ($20,648). Interestingly, Renault says that “even in countries where tax incentives are not currently available, prices for ZOE are still particularly attractive” and then mentions Switzerland, where the cost is CHF 22,800 ($24,797). Of course, the reason for these low prices is hidden in the details of the battery lease, which, in the UK at least, costs £70 ($110) a month for a 9,000 mile/36 month contract.
