Upcoming 2009 Lotus Eagle Prototype Details

Here's the video of the Lotus Eagle protoype being tested at the Nurburgring, Geramny. New Eagle will officially make its public debut later this years at 2008 London Motor Show. Sketchy details that can be seen in this heavily camouflaged Eagle video are its low front end, round brake lights and tail lamps that look very similar to ones doing service on the Elise/Exige.

The new mid-engined 2+2 Lotus Eagle sports car is expected to be priced at about £45,000 when it goes on sale in UK in spring of 2009. The new car fits in between the entry-level Elise sports cars and the upcoming Esprit. Inorder to decrease body mass and improve handling, there will be extensive use of aluminum in the body structure plus it will get a carbon fiber roof.

Just incase if you don't know Eagle is only a codename for this project and the production car will be christened another name.
