Lotus Reluctant to Make Hybrid Cars

In an effort to give the impression of environment-friendly and high innovating, many sports car manufacturers adopt hybrid technology in its product line.

However, for small-scale sports car manufacturer like Lotus hybrid technology is fairly pointless and not in line with the philosophy of Lotus.

Speaking to Autoblog, the CEO of Lotus, Jean-Marc Gales, the company has no plans to make a car with hybrid drive.

According to him, the hybrid technology is too heavy and cumbersome, so it is not in line with the principle of the Lotus car is simple and lightweight.

Only, Gales raised the possibility of Lotus to build electric cars, although there will be built in the near future.
