Lotus Omnivore Runs on Anything – Even Southern Comfort
“The engine design is expected to significantly increase fuel efficiency for sustainable bio
alcohol fuels,” Lotus Engineering’s Mike Kimberley said, which means you should prepare to see rappers filling their 2011 Exiges with Cristal and Courvosier.
A recent “tri-fuel” concept Exige drove like a bat out of Hethel, delivering 270 horsepower and
hitting 60 mph from a standstill in 3.88 seconds. That beats the current gas-only Exige S by 52 horsepower and 22 hundredths of a second, all while minimizing tailpipe emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. When the “tri-fuel” concept was unveiled in May, Lotus made it clear we’ve got plenty of time to save up, because it’s at least four to five years from production.
