Lotus says that following first confirmation of the project in April at the Shanghai International Auto Show, several hundred potential owners have come forward to express their interest in the new car.
The brand also says the Type 130 will be the most dynamically accomplished road car in the company’s history. The ‘130’ number reflects the fact that it is the 130th in a long line of Lotus ‘Type’ series.
The car is being co-developed by Lotus and Williams Advanced Engineering. Expected to be powered by two motors, the limited edition model is expected to command a very high price.
