    They did it too roughly....

    I prefer the 340R personally...

    Just looks like it's gonna be a track-only special, not road legal like the 340R.

    Looks from the pics that with the low ground clearance, front splitter and decent sized rear wing the emphasis will be much more on downforce than it was with the 340R. Should move it into Radical territory, which is very dangerous territory IMO as they are firmly established as the leaders in that sector of the trackday market. Definitely swimming with sharks! Still, the Lotus brand name should help them out no end.

    its def not ugly but the color scheme is too over the top.
    the 340R is one of the best designs and cars ever IMO, styling wise it was the step between the Mk.I and II (the fronts are similar).
    would have liked to have seen open wheels again.
    front of this looks like the sport Exige V6, how the front of the fenders are cut away at the bottom.
    hope the singe-seater is centrally located.

    it prboably will be street legal, most trackday cars are in the UK, even the radical
