LONDON: Lotus has announced that Type 130, the brand’s first all-new model in more than a decade, will be revealed to the world’s media at an exclusive event here on July 16.
Following first confirmation of the project in April at the Shanghai International Auto Show, several hundred potential owners have come forward to express their interest in the new all-electric hypercar.
Lotus said last week that only 130 examples will be made – representing the number of Lotus "Types" introduced during the brand’s 71-year history. The car would be built at Hethel in Norfolk, the brand’s headquarters since 1966.
Lotus said the Type 130 would be the most dynamically accomplished road car in the company’s history.
Lotus has released a new image and short film, alluding further to what Type 130 will have to offer.
