Elise S3 at Geneva Motorshow ?

Op Lotus-Central staat een bericht met een eerder 'vreemde' titel;
Cometh the Hour, Cometh the Car
Well, it seems the time is almost here! If you want to catch a first glimpse of the new Elise S3 you'll need to set your alarm early on the morning of Tuesday 2 March, for that's when we are led to believe Lotus will take the wraps off the eagerly awaited new car - they have an 08.45am slot (that's 07.45 in UK/Portugal) booked for a press event on the opening Press-only day of the Geneva Motor Show.
Naturally details are sketchy at the moment but we are led to believe that Elise S3, or Project Anglesey as it is known internally, will once again be Toyota powered although with stocks of the now-obsolete 1.8-litre running down, alternative 1.6- and 2.0-litre units from the same source will be phased-in by the end of 2010. On the face of it even the 2.0-litre engine would appear to be less powerful than the existing unit according to Toyota figures, bear in mind that Toyota have given Lotus a free hand in re-mapping engines, so presumably that arrangement would continue.
If you want to see the car in real life, Geneva Motor Show is an easy day trip by air from England, the Palexpo Exhibition Centre being a mere 10 minutes walk from the airport terminal building - you don't even need a bus! If you're really in a hurry, you'll find Lotus on stand 1259 in Hall 1. The show is open to the public from 4-14 March and full information can be found on the event's excellent website: http://www.salon-auto.ch
