Lotus Eagle wheelbase is approximately 275mm (about 13 inches) longer than the Lotus Elise/Exige, or slightly shorter (80mm) than the Porsche 997. The extra space in the Lotus Eagle makes for a more livable cabin for at least two of its occupants and allows Lotus to use the international automotive metric for measuring capacity – it can fit one golf bag in the boot.
As previously reported, a 3.5-liter Toyota-sourced V6 will send 276 horsepower and 250 lb.-ft. of torque through a Toyota-derived six-speed transmission that's been re-engineered by Lotus with a new clutch and a revised gear set. The Eagle's weight is estimated at just over 3,000 pounds.
