Lotus is taking the legendary name in a new direction, with a hybrid V8 and more than 1,000 horsepower. Here's what we know.

Earlier this year, Lotus announced its Focus 2030 roadmap, which, blissfully, turns the company away from an all-electric future. Instead, Lotus is embracing a multi-powertrain mix that will include a combustion-powered supercar wearing the Esprit name. We expect more information about the new Esprit in the coming months, but until the official debut confirms everything, this is what we know about the next-generation Esprit.
