Lotus is fully
committed to the North American market and will produce a 2016 Model
Year Evora that will be fully compliant for Canada and the USA. Lotus
will not be producing a 2015 model year Lotus Evora but there will be
limited availability of 2014 model year Lotus Evora sports cars over the
next few months. In addition, the Lotus Elise S Cup R and the Lotus
Exige V6 Cup R are also sold in these markets for race and competition
use only.
Jean-Marc Gales, Chief Executive Officer of Group Lotus plc said, "I
know that this will be welcome news to our thousands of owners and fans
in North America, but the reality is that there was never any intention
to leave. The North American market is vitally important for us and we
intend to expand our dealer network and grow our sales volumes in the
future. In fact in the last twelve months, we have already appointed
three new dealerships in the USA and are on course to appoint additional
dealers in the next few months."
Jean-Marc Gales continued, "Our customers, both current and future can
rest easy, knowing that our car sales, aftersales and support services
will continue and indeed improve in the future to support our growth in
Canada and the USA. I would like to thank our fantastic Lotus following
for their support over the years and remind them that we are working on
many exciting products for the future. We will continue to explore our
core vales on how to make a sports car better by making it faster,
lighter and maintain the pure driving experience."
Lotus currently has 45 dealers in North America and plans to open
additional dealers in key market areas in Canada and the USA in the next
few months.
