As one of the latest showrooms in the Lotus Cars Middle East
portfolio, Lotus Kuwait is a key part of the plans to expand the Lotus brand
across the region by developing both existing and new markets. Currently, Lotus
Cars Middle East has dealerships in the United Arab Emirates and Lebanon, with
further market and showroom launches planned in the near future.
Lotus cars - speed and style
With a power to weight ratio of over 300 hp / tonne, the Lotus Exige is regarded
by many as the fastest real-world, point-to-point supercar. Reaching 100 km/h in
3.8 seconds, the Lotus Exige perfectly demonstrates the Lotus design philosophy
of ‘lighter and faster’ and sets the benchmark for performance and handling both
on road and on track.
The Lotus Evora 400 has already received praise and accolades from customers and
media in Europe and Asia and has reaffirmed Lotus as the maker of some of the
finest, lightweight, pure and most efficient sports cars sold today.
Already on sale in Europe and Asia, and soon to enter to the
North American market, the Lotus Evora 400 has already generated great
excitement worldwide.
The Lotus Evora 400 and the Exige have both been extensively and
rigorously tested in the Middle East specifically for the particular extreme
climate demands of the region.
