It's been half a decade since Lutus stopped production of its venerable Esprit, and there's still no replacement in production - but they're trying to get one launched by 2012. It has been reported recently that Lotus may be able to put the replacement into production if Evora sales generate enough revenue or they are able to line up additional financial backing.
The original Esprit was powered by a turbo-four cylinder engine, then a turbocharged eight, and word on the street is that the next generation would be powered by a BMW V8 - which is logical, since it won't directly compete with their product line like it will with Mercedes-Benz products or the VW/Audi family of vehicles.
