Yep, didn't sell too well in the UK.. there was an Abarth version, looked neat in certain colours.

Italian "man" maths at work for sure.. they built the Fiat version on the same production line as the pretty cousin but junked the engine and the pretty bodywork for a goofy looking sister..

Well, can't say much about the engine but I will say I would have been the guy dating the "goofy looking sister". She seems much more interesting.

Oops... the Lambo. The Fiat seems nice.

I saw two of those Lambos while living in Cali, and both were the same yellow. Did they only make one color?

A couple of Yellows, plenty of blacks and one Beige (posted photos of it in this thread). Beige wears bright white wheels and red and black interior. Awful mix of colours..

This morning saw a Huracan Sterrato, grey with black cladding..

This lives near me but never seen it out on a Sunday.. I wonder if Chapman would have been proud to have the Lotus badge stuck to this thing..

A Lotus badge on a Chinese electric tank. So proud.

It's rather sad.. There's no depth of understanding behind the badges!! People are consuming the products but don't give a flying fuck as to what the badge means or meant..

I recall seeing one Tesla Roadster, it was on a aircraft skid ready to be loaded for the States.. this was when Lotus was building them, then shipping to Mr Musk to add the electrics.. Only 47 Tesla Roadsters in the UK..
