Car Sight

Unfortunately, the Lotus M250 never reached production. It was concieved as a model to fit in the range between the Lotus Elise and Esprit. The draft for the M250 engine and probably the source of the'250 'of the element's name, was 250 horsepower, 3.0 liter, mid-mounted V6.

The original idea for the M250 is to give the car "comfort", such as air conditioning, central locking and electric windows - Lotus generally fail of their products to reduce weight.

It was found that the M250 has been shelved when Lotus decided that the car was not good for the world market. Fortunatley the spirit of the M250 is still living in vehicles like the Lotus Exige and later, Europe. Although Europe is much less attractive than the M250.
