[QUOTE="Dinesh, post: 1063352490, member: 40303"] http://www.zerotohundred.com/?attachment_id=16979 Fresh from locking its crosshairs on Ferrari, the battle to take on the Prancing Horse could see Lotus design and develop the V8 mill for the 2013 Esprit on its own, according to top dog Dany Bahar. While the Norfolk based outfit are more synonymous with their chassis tuning and handling aspect, they’re also still an engineering firm, and a proper, well sorted one at that. Up until 2004, they produced their own V8 engine for the previous gen Esprit, apart from designing three complete engines for other manufacturers. The report by Autocar suggests that if plans to develop its own engine goes ahead, the most likely candidate to receive it would be the Esprit while a V6 powerplant would find its way into the Elan, that is slated to follow half a year after the Esprit. “In the mind of sports-car enthusiasts, Toyota power might not be good enough,” admitted Bahar recently.
