Project Eagle, a code name for the new larger, more powerful Lotus sports car, is coming. Today Lotus released the first image of Project Eagle, for which the official car name will be released July 22. Taking obvious styling cues from the fast, mean and successful Lotus Elise, the Project Eagle 2+2 adds a second row of seating, more creature comforts and significantly more power than the Elise or even Exige track-focused Lotus models, with 276 horsepower coming from a heavily modified Toyota-sourced V6Lotus is going for something a little more luxurious, the Eagle to the Elise's hornet in the styling department. Suffice to say the Eagle, or whatever the name for this promising sports car in the British tradition ends up being called, will be considerably more expensive than the Elise when it hits showrooms. The performance numbers? Lotus marks Project Eagle at a top speed of at least 160 mph, with 0-60 mph coming in less than 5 seconds.
