Lotus debuted the 3-Eleven at Goodwood earlier this year, calling the car its "quickest and most expensive series production car ever." But just how quick is it? To find out, the carmaker has been testing the 3-Eleven at the Nürburgring, and it turns out it's faster than even Lotus thought.

Unlike it's half scale road cars, Harrington Group's new two-thirds scale Lotus 25 F1 lookalike could prove to be much more than a toy for for the wealthy. It's a low cost race car which offers a whole new sport with more relevance than karts.

Lotus is on a roll at the moment. Having announced the new Evora 400 and the Elise 20th Anniversary Special Edition within the last month, the British carmaker has now unveiled a new Lotus Exige S Club Racer. In short, it has refined the already-remarkable Exige S Coupé even further.

Fresh from looking to the future with its new Evora 400, Lotus is taking a moment to reflect on the past. The British carmaker has announced a special Lotus Elise to celebrate the 20th birthday of the iconic car. The Elise 20th Anniversary Special Edition is based on the Elise S Club Racer.

Lotus finds itself, yet again, approaching dire financial straights. It needs a hit, a palpable hit, and it has chosen to update, up-rate and subtly alter its Evora sportscar for even more bang throughout the performance envelope.

The Lotus F1 Team is first out of the gate in showing off its new contender for the 2015 Grand Prix World Championship. Dubbed the E23 Hybrid, this is the car that the crew from Enstone hopes will turn their fortunes around from an abysmal 2014 season.

Automakers are increasingly turning to lighter building materials. While doing so may indeed result in lightweight cars, these materials lack the sound-damping qualities of their heavier counterparts. That's why Harman and Lotus have developed the HALOsonic system, which cancels out road noise.

In celebration of the 2014 F1 racing season, Lotus has revealed the Exige LF1 special edition. The hot, race-inspired limited-run car gets new black, gold and red livery, recalling Lotus race cars of generations past.

Honda's new 750cc NM4 Vultus is a bold departure from tradition with anime/manga styling, a "fighter pilot" feet-forward riding position, an ultra-low seat and advanced electronic rider assistance to make it as easy to ride as a scooter. The motorcycle is evolving!

Competition improves the breed and an astonishing performance by a production specification SEAT Leon Cupra 280 in setting a new lap record for the Nurburgring has infused the pocket rocket market with new vigor. Now there are four legitimate contenders for the souped-up shopping-trolley crown.
