The position of the driver and passengers in the city car that Lotus could also just as we see in Baja. The driver was in front in the middle position, while two passengers sit in the backseat.
According to Lotus Engineering CEO Darren Somerset, fuel-efficient city car will move with Lotus motorcycle engine capacity of 600cc 2-cylinder.
The machine itself will be placed under the rear passenger seat. In addition to maximizing space, position the engine behind the aim to improve the safety of users when it comes to the crunch. Darren even sure Lotus city car safety systems will qualify for the Euro-NCAP crash test.
This car, according to Darren, will be priced at about 10 thousand U.S. dollars. Prices can be as cheap as it is because Lotus is limiting the features that make the price of the car can be expensive.
