Well, we knew that Lotus personnel had been working with the folks from Tesla Motors on their sexy electric roadster, and today we received a bit of interesting related news. According to a report on
EDP24.com (the Norfolk Eastern Daily Press website), Group Lotus' involvement with the
Tesla Roadster project is now very much official: the Roadster will be built by Lotus at its Hethel facility.
The move is part of Lotus honcho Mike Kimberley's ongoing plan to increase the company's involvement in outside design and engineering projects. It comes on the heels of Lotus' new
deal with Nanjng Automotive to aid in the development of new MG vehicles.
We'll bring you more info on the Tesla/Lotus deal when the companies issue formal announcements in the coming days.
