An ‘armchair’ Lotus?
What’s this, a Lotus with electric windows, carpets, air conditioning and an audio system with satnav? It gets scarier. This is a Lotus with…a boot that can take a suitcase. Just the one mind you, with only enough clothes to last you the afternoon. And the handbook has its own pocket in the same boot – is this because there isn’t room inside the cockpit?
To be fair, this is still a Lotus and it is still a car for the purists when compared with what else you could buy for the £33K price tag. The power and torque outputs of 225PS at 5,700rpm and 300Nm at 4,000rpm, together with the 995kg bodyweight allows a top speed of 146mph and a 0-62mph sprint time of 5.4seconds. So you and the missus can speed home with the shopping from Tesco.
OK it’s not that practical and you’ll probably need to keep the Passat – but what a great option for car leasing for that weekend whizz through leafy lanes.
