Moving to any other manufacturer just doesn't make any sense. This is even further backed up by the Evora powerplant. Sticking with Toyota is a smart business move, and they have the technology and range needed to power the entire lineup of Lotus offerings.

My prediction is a 440hp base model NA Esprit, followed by a 550/600 HP SC or TT variant.
I think they will probably just skip to the Twin turbo model
