statement of Intent

Enter Eterne, four-door super sedan from Lotus. If the elite is then transformed Eterne elegant elegance redefined.

Eterne is a true four-door, four seater sports GT. This is the ultimate expression of refined style, sophistication and elegance. But wait. Elegant, graceful sports car? Of course not.
A sports car by definition can not be graceful. Powerful, attractive, aggressive, yes, but not gracefully. But this is a major paradox – the Eterne. Power and grace, strength and elegance, beauty and strength in a stunning package.

With a 5.0-liter V8 engine to 620 hp with pressure Eterne calculated on the best destination in the performance and efficiency.

In accordance with the rest of the new line-up will benefit Eterne hybrid technology.
Dany Bahar, Chief Executive Officer of Group Lotus, said:. “Eterne look is sensational, and as with the rest of the series and give up all other aspects similar to the elite, the car perfect contradiction, it is compact and yet spacious and powerful yet low-emission light, relatively compact yet convincing.”

“We really believe that there is a market for Eterne it, there is nothing comparable in terms of capacity, design and performance of the largest difference between competitor Eterne and the class that it is not an evolution of an existing two-door., This is a conscious and as being a stand-alone is a major four-door sports car .. ”

Sometimes there are no rules broken, so it’s time to define them, instead. Via
