Now all customers
purchasing a new Lotus Elise, Exige or Evora will have the option to
collect their new car from the home of Lotus, its headquarters in Hethel,
UK.
With the introduction of two new exciting customer experiences, all
Lotus customers have the opportunity to visit Lotus for a personal
hand-over of their new car, receive a personalised commemorative owner’s
booklet charting the build of their car and meet the team who brought
their Lotus to life. The experiences also include a tour of the
manufacturing facility where every Lotus has been hand built by skilled
craftsmen and women since 1967 and a visit to Classic Team Lotus to see
many of the iconic race cars of Team Lotus.
For customers looking for the ultimate Lotus immersion there is even
chance to spend some time with a Lotus instructor on the famous Hethel
test track and get a first-hand insight into how Lotus’ ethos of ‘pure
driving’ is engineered into every Lotus car.
Group Lotus plc Chief Executive Officer Jean-Marc Gales said, “Hethel is
the heart of Lotus, where we have been designing, developing and
building the most exciting and uncompromising handmade British sports
cars for nearly 50 years and we are delighted to open our doors to
customers so that they can collect their new car from us direct.
“It is here at our Headquarters that Colin Chapman himself conceived and
built the original cars that were lighter, faster and more dynamic to
drive and race than anything else. The Hethel experience gives our new,
existing and future customers the opportunity to see, hear and feel for
themselves the ambition that has been core to Lotus; to build cars that
give you one of the most thrilling ‘pure driving’ experiences imaginable.”
