Lotus Cars History & Background
Lotus Cars

Lotus Cars is a British car manufacturer that specializes in manufacturing sports cars and racing cars. The company was originally founded in 1952 by Colin Chapman but was bought by General Motors in 1986.

In 1993 General Motors sold the company to a company controlled by Romano Artioli. Later, in 1996, a majority share of Lotus was sold to Proton. Lexus is now recognized as the Lotus Group and divided into two sections consisting of Lotus Cars and Lotus Engineering.

Lotus produces several popular models today. These models include the Lotus Elise, the Exige, and the Lotus Europa.

The Lotus Elise is a two-door convertible roadster. The Elise comes with a 1.4-litre straight four engine and replaced the Lotus 7 and has been produced in two series; Series 1 and Series 2. Production began in 1996 and continues to the present.

The Lotus Exige is a two-door sports car that provides seating for two. The Lotus Exige replaced the Lotus Elise. Production began in 2006 and continues to the present.

The Lotus Europa is a two-door sports coupe that provides seating for two. Production of the Europa began in 2006 and continues to date.
