[edit] Top speed

Didn't Opel/Vauxhall claim this car ran to 182mph? I remember that the speed in the Autocar tests were quoted as "175+ mph" - Why was this??

RE: Autocar didn't have a track long enough to use all the power- but it's most likely able to punch way above 180mph.

[edit] Supercar?

The only project at Lotus that I heard referred to as a supercar in this timeframe was a proposed development of the Etna show car, called M300.

Yes, I don't believe it qualifies as a supercar. I've removed it. Recury 20:53, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
