The next Esprit will have a central tub made of extruded, bonded and rivited aluminum, just like the Evora (the VVA architecture). There will be a roll structure added to the central tub. The front subframe will be replaceable, made of the same materials and contain the small luggage compartment and twin radiators, making up the front crash structure. The replaceable rear subframe will be made of galvanized steel (for strength) and longitudinally hold a V8 or V10 engine. The body will once again be composite (fiberglass). The wheel base will be very close to the Evora's, the rear overhang will be slightly longer than the Evora's, but the front overhang will be quiet longer.
All of this information was provided by Roger Becker at the LOG 28 banquet.
