About Lotus Cars

Lotus | Elise | Exige | Europa | Evora

Lotus have always set their hearts and minds on the driver. In whatever they do. Their pure passion for sports cars has been ingrained for over 50 years, giving you the assurance that the Lotus you're driving is one of the most admired cars the world over.

Colin Chapman, the founder of Lotus, only had one desire - to build the best sports cars in the world. His philosophy of "performance through lightweight" coupled with innovative engineering and ground breaking technology were the forces that drove Lotus to a wealth of racing successes stretching from the 1950s through to the 1990s.

Lotus Factory

Today, the principles of innovation, unconventional engineering and pure passion live on. In every Lotus. And for anyone who's in love with driving.

Lotus have always been disrespectful. Thus they earned respect.

Convention has never meant much to those at Lotus. It is there to be challenged. To be broken. Call it irreverence. Or a nagging need to be unconventional and extraordinary. The thinking man's sports car is made to involve the driver in every level. Much like a jealous lover, it demands constant attention. It's one inconvenience you don't mind at all.
