Lotus Will Return To Combustion Engines For Its Cars

Lotus unveiled Focus 2030, a new plan that brings back combustion engines alongside hybrids and EVs.

The brand previewed a hybrid V8 Type 135 supercar and said the Emira will get an update.

Lotus also lowered its long-term sales target, signaling a more cautious growth outlook.

The shift marks a reversal of Lotus’s all-EV strategy and reflects wider industry pressure around demand and profitability.
