Lotus have relieved a four door hybrid super sedan! 


The new Eterne was revealed at the Paris Auto Show today. The car is based on the Lotus Elite that was unleashed a while ago. 


Power comes from 5.0 liter V8 engine that makes 612 hp and 720 nm of torque.The car will be offered as a hybrid offered with a hybrid gearbox with integrated electric motors and KERS. the car will hit a top speed of 195 km/h and 0-100 km/h in 4 seconds. 


"The Eterne is sensational to look and as with the rest of the range it also over delivers in all other aspects as well. Similar to the Elite, it’s a car of perfect contradictions, it’s compact yet spacious, high performing yet low emitting, relative lightweight yet still reassuringly solid. We truly believe that there is a market for the Eterne, there is nothing else like it out there both in terms of design, capacity and performance. The biggest difference between the Eterne and it’s class competitors is that it’s not an evolution of an existing two-door model, it’s a deliberate and considered stand-alone creation. It’s the ultimate four door sports car."


The car will enter the market in spring 2015 and go on sale in early 2015 with a price tag of £120,000 ($190,000)
