Fancy a wicked ride? Get behind the wheel with a bevy of English beauties. The 'hot bods' span Lotus' prestigious 54-year racing history, from the Lotus Seven, Elan and Europa to the remarkable Elise and the 175mph Lotus Esprit as well as some of the most influential Formula One and Indy cars ever built.

Rain, storms, snow, fog, dirt and mud are all remarkably rendered. Scrape your Lotus down the side of a tunnel as you run at more than 100 miles an hour and see realistic scratches and dents form on the body work. Advanced real-time particle systems handle the life-like damage and weather effects. Projected shadows and the car's glistening headlights create a mesmerizing nocturnal driving experience.

Commenting on the ground-breaking strategic partnership, Arnie Johnson who heads up the American division of Group Lotus, Lotus Cars USA Inc said, “this is the first time a unique co-production has been set-up between a car manufacturer and a games developer. We have maintained an unprecedented level of involvement in the development of the game to ensure it is as realistic as possible. Lotus is extremely proud to have selected such innovative partners.”
