The story
The Lotus Eclat was a sports car produced by Lotus Cars from 1975 to 1982. It was a derivative of the Lotus Elite and shared its platform and mechanical components. The Eclat was designed to offer a more conventional fastback coupe style compared to the Elite's shooting brake design.
Its fastback design provided a unique alternative to the more common sports car silhouettes of the time.
History
The Lotus Eclat was introduced as part of Lotus's strategy to diversify its offerings and reach a wider audience. It was developed alongside the Elite and Esprit, forming a trio of models that showcased Lotus's engineering prowess. The Eclat's production ended in 1982, making way for the Excel, which was an evolution of the Eclat design.
