Here's a question for Toyota fans here in Clublexus why can't just Toyota buy a stake of Lotus and use all their engineering expertise in making a better handling car. If I was the CEO of Toyota I would buy the whole Lotus company in a heartbeat.
Well they used to own a bit of it. I've always said that they need to tell proton to go to hell and get their stake back.

Back when the LFA was deem in development, they reportedly helped to work on the front aluminum crash structure and some suspension tuning. Not sure how accurate that information is.
Lotus had no hand in the LFA
Toyota will sell Lotus "Toyota engines", not Lexus ones. That is why the Evora gets the 3.5 without direct injection.... Lotus has worked on their own forced induction system for the Evora..
It has the best security system, it has the self destruct option that blows the car up when someone touches it. I still remember having the Bond white Lotus Espirit hot wheels car as a child with the big British flag painted on the hood, I actually still have it in the attic.
