The Lotus Carlton was a legend in its own lifetime, easily outpacing any other saloon and some supercars. Can it live up to the hype 30 years on? To keep a low profile, we waited for darkness to fall in order to find out.
Lotus’s first mid-engined road car is now an intriguing rarity. It’s the subject of our latest Classic Drive to see how it stacks up in 2020.
Lotus had a fraught relationship with the organisers of the Le Mans 24-hour. In the first of a two-part story, we tell the bittersweet story of Lotus’s attempts on the greatest endurance race of them all.
If you’ve raced an Evora at Le Mans, what do you choose as your road car? We met endurance racer Johnny Mowlem to find out why he loves his Lotus road car – and why he brought it back from the brink of a write off.
When Jim Clark took on the International Rally of Great Britain, his performance raised a few eyebrows. Richard Heseltine tells the story in our latest of our Great Race series.
Trevor Taylor once had what it took to challenge Jim Clark, so what happened to his career? We tell the story of the ill-fated Yorkshireman.
We spent time with Lotus expert, collector and dealer Guy Munday to find out more about his life with the marque.
