New Lotus Esprit to arrive in 2011?

Rumor has it that British-based and Proton-owned sports car maker Lotus, will launch a new Lotus Esprit in 2011 which is expected to go head to head with Audi’s R8.

The new Esprit will most probably feature a mid-mounted V8 powerplant, (probably sourced from Toyota), and is also expected to be bigger than the recently launched Lotus Evora. The first Lotus Esprit was produced back in 1976, and was famously featured in The Spy Who Loved Me.
