It's using a Lynk and Co. body to hide the Lotus chassis underneath.

Deliveries start in 2020.

China's Geely continues to invest in the old British sports car brand.

Production could drop by 300,000 vehicles, end up half of what was once projected.

The concept will be fully revealed this year.

The 2020 model will be cushier than usual Lotus products.

Only 3,855 sold worldwide and less than 600 imported to the U.S.

Few automakers short of Jeep love cranking out new variants of a current model like Lotus. Today, the storied British sports car manufacturer revealed the new Exige Sport 410, essentially a more comfortable and road-friendly version of the track-focused Exige Cup 430. This is a mid-engine coupe with 410 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque and a dry weight that's slightly more than an ND Mazda MX-5 Miata. Too bad it's not-for-U.S. consumption.
