Friday, January 26, 2007 Lotus - A Brand Revitalized 10 years ago Lotus was nearly not existent on the sportscarmarket anymore, with only a few fine sportscar examples from the past still in existence. But things have changed a bit over the last coupe years. Even so the amount of enthusiasts of this sportscarbrand today is still by far bigger than the amount of cars that are sold per year things have changed a bit for the better. Today there are again 4500 clients per year ordering the two seater Elise or the derived coupe, called Exige. Since comfort is minimized most of the cars are only used as weekend cars.With the new Europa, that is now on the market, Lotus seems to get back to the more comfortable versions, but you will still have to wait till 2008, when the new top of the line Esprit will dayview with a powerful BMW V8 engine. Lotus has a long successful history in motorsports and is on the way back to bring the old Lotus spirit to the roads.

One shared passion makes the customer a friend Luzzago''''s success is based upon a close relationship with it''''s customers many of whom are or become friends. Whoever purchases a classic car does so with a spirit quite diverse from those buying a modern automobile. The client arrives at Luzzago with a desire to travel back in time at the wheel of a Jaguar or Triumph like the ones driven thirty or forty years ago: a desire to escape the constraints of contemporary living and discover new emotions that perhaps they could not permit themselves when younger; the joy of grasping a large wooden steering wheel, without power steering that transmits the heart of the road through your hands, whilst the wind rushes through your hair. Cristiano and Valerio know this desire all too well, the focus of their last 28 years has been based upon it so a visit to Luzzago is a good excuse to take time out and immerse yourself in that passion.
