I think Lotus' approach was less weight rather than more power. So they wouldn't be exactly built like tanks. And it seemed reliability wasn't top of their 'to do' list, hence the LOTUS acronym.
Back in the early 80s I chased a Lotus Elan between Keswick and Grasmere on my Suzuki GS750. I couldn't keep up with it. Damn thing didn't seem to slow down for corners, stuck to the road like shit to a blanket.

My Caterham 7 has similar cornering capabilities.
When I was looking for a "new" car a few years ago, I looked at the new Lotus Europa.
I don't think they made many of those

Hope he got in one last Halloween party, where he would no doubt have gone as DraculaHe always came across as a proper gent, who managed to keep things interesting without having to resort to daft stunts.

Yes had seen that. A mate's dad used to have an Interceptor, a beautiful thing, powder blue with a cream leather interior. He took us out for a spin, was doing 130 down the road, you could see the fuel gauge going down lol.
“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”
