Line Pack (includes front fog lights on Design models) and two-coat pearlescent paint are optional at extra cost. Corsa. Fun and frugality in equal measure. Corsa’s range of ecoFLEX engines have been designed to save you money. So how do we do it without losing Corsa’s fun, lively power delivery and driveability? Well, the benefit of improved fuel economy speaks for itself but lower CO2 emissions also mean savings on Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) and lower company car taxation too. Of course, we are always looking to further reduce vehicle CO2 emissions and we already have some of the lowest emissions in the UK. Our 1.3CDTi 16v (95PS)* ecoFLEX Start/Stop model only produces 88g/km of CO2 meaning you’ll pay no VED at all.** How’s that for a saving year after year? And we haven’t stopped there. We have been researching ways of developing new cars that are even more efficient than ever before. The innovative Vauxhall Ampera† is an Extended-Range Electric Vehicle (E-REV) that can drive up to 50 miles on battery power alone and over 300 miles utilising an on-board electric generator system. But then it’s not just our cars that can help you save money. You can help yourself by simply adopting smarter driving techniques. Smooth throttle control, changing gear at around 2000rpm when accelerating and lifting off the accelerator earlier in order to slow your vehicle down, all contribute to efficient motoring. So there it is. You get all of Corsa’s sense of fun and our philosophy of forward thinking – helping your money go further.

  • Vehicle Architecture the Ultimate Road-Track Car Lotus Engineering
    The official industry newsletter of Lotus Engineering Issue 10 September/October 2005 Vehicle architecture The ultimate road-track car Lotus Engineering Change the Rules Welcome 22 It’s true to say that decisions on Vehicle Architecture, often made at the outset of a vehicle programme, can have a profound effect on a vehicle projects’ risk and profitability. This realisation, coupled with the need to reduce economic volumes of production, can add increasing pressure to large OEMs. This leads to the further exploration of alternative methods of vehicle construction and a possible move away from the ubiquitous steel monocoque. Our experience for vehicles at volumes up to around 10,000 p.a. is that a wide range of vehicle architecture and technologies could apply. Each one will have its own downstream implications for cost, quality, manufacturing and timing. Daryl Greig This issue of proActive looks at vehicle architecture and explores these points as well as typical approaches to the problem. I hope you will find it a useful comparison to your own organisation. Group Lotus PLC is named In addition we are also featuring a master class session with Matt Becker where he looks at the problems “World Class Manufacturer” associated with the loss of tyre adhesion. of the year 2005 I hope you enjoy this issue.

Jackie readily agreed and suggested we use the ‘elite’ British Racing Drivers Club clubhouse at Silverstone. We sold out immediately..110 Lotus enthusiast guests at £25 each to include food and a very modest £500 (normally £2000) clubhouse hire. This covered costs and I reasoned this would allow more money to be spent on raffle tickets and our auction! We then settled in to a 90 minute interview with slideshow (thanks Lawrence!) detailing Jackie’s amazingly varied career in motorsport…….. his fractious relationship with Colin Chapman when he was parachuted into Team Lotus in 1968 after the untimely death of Jim Clark…. spells with McLaren F1 and the seemingly unreliable BRM F1 team…..

  • Q&A with Group Lotus CEO, Mike Kimberley the Lotus Integrated
    The official industry newsletter of Lotus Engineering Issue 22 September/October 2007 The Lotus Integrated Exhaust Manifold Q&A with Group Lotus CEO, Mike Kimberley Lotus Engineering Change the Rules Welcome At the recent Frankfurt Motor Show green technologies were again the all-pervading topic. The breadth of technical options being pursued is mind-boggling whether it is clean diesels, electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids – a subject reviewed by Ian Adcock this issue. Green technologies were again firmly on the agenda at the recent IMechE biofuels seminar hosted by Lotus Engineering, an event that attracted industry figure intent on driving renewable fuels forward. For a consultancy like Lotus Engineering, you could think the diversity of technologies would make it difficult for us to know where to focus our activities. But, for us at least, it gives the opportunity to use our considerable skills for a wide range of clients and projects. Clearly, Lotus is a leader in many of the green technologies themselves. However the ‘glue’ that combines and strengthens our engineering Peter Morgan capabilities is the ability to integrate technologies into real solutions and real vehicles. The integrated exhaust manifold 13 described this issue is a great example. I hope you enjoy this latest look at the industry and Lotus Engineering, which concludes with the recent interview with Mike Kimberley, CEO of Group Lotus, by Dave Leggett, kindly reprinted with permission of just-auto.
