Year: 2010 | Project Status: Finished | Credit/Role: Co/Lead Designer

Debuted at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, the Lotus Eterne concept previewed the brand’s vision for a high-performance four-door sedan. With a lightweight chassis and potent V8, it targeted rivals like the Porsche Panamera while retaining Lotus’s dynamic purity.

The Lotus Lotus Eterne is one of the five all-new Lotus concept cars which were unveiled at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. The Eterne is a true four door, four seater sports GT. It’s the ultimate expression of refined style, sophistication and grace.

A sports car by definition can’t be graceful. Powerful, exciting, aggressive yes, but not graceful. Yet here it is, the ultimate paradox – the Eterne. Power and grace, performance and elegance, beauty and strength all in one stunning package.

With a 5.0 litre pressure charged V8 engine delivering up to 620 PS the Eterne is aiming for best in class performance and efficiency. In keeping with the rest of the new line-up, the Eterne will benefit from hybrid technology.
