At the 2010 Paris Motor Show, Lotus introduced this four-door sedan ‘hybrid.’ The four-door sedan front-V8 is a five-liter Toyota source. It offers 620 hp, which is sent to the rear wheels, giving the vehicle a zero to sixty time of just 4 seconds and a top speed of 196 miles per hour. Transfer option is a hybrid style that uses a formula KERS energy recovery system. Also available is a platform driving all four wheels.
Like the new Esprit concept, the Eterne is powered by a 620-horsepower, 5.0-liter V8 sourced from Toyota. The optional hybrid drive train uses a Formula 1-style KERS energy recuperation system, and the Lotus sedan will be available in both rear- and all-wheel drive. Of course, this is still a Lotus, so good performance numbers are an absolute must, and we're told that the Eterne will run to 60 miles per hour in just 4.0 seconds on its way to a top speed of 196 mph.
While merely a concept at this point, Lotus says that the Eterne is slated for production in 2015 and that the sedan will cost around $190,000. Enjoy the live photos direct from the Paris Motor Show floor and a video after the jump.
