320bhp from a 2L V4 petrol engine. That'll be turbo charged then Wonder if it will be a 180 degree V

Looks like every other concept sports car we've seen from the last 3 years to me, not all that special to look at IMO, which is a shame as I love Lotus cars.

Looks almost as ugly as the Veyron. Can't see anything attractive in the body style, particularly the front end.

Polish out nicely with some T cut

These things aren't cars, they are toys. I would never put my kids in one of these glorified kit cars
