Great news, i think they have listened to their customers... going lightweight and track focused is THE ONLY way a modern Lotus is a Lotus and not something else. Another critical decision is that they have opted to develop their own engine, that is mighty important. I would have been able to accept Cosworth engines or something, but to power the model range with toyota engines would be a big mistake.
