Lotus plans to resume internal combustion and hybrid production through Focus 2030, including Hybrid-X and a hybrid V8 supercar Type 135.
The problem, as we have been warned for some time, is the new hybrid power trains, which combine a 1.6 L V6 that generates 400 kW with a 350 kW electric motor. Getting to a near 50:50 split between internal combustion and electric power was key to attracting new auto manufacturers to the sport.
