Lotus Resumes US Operations, Moves US HQ To Detroit Area
After a brief hiatus in 2014, Lotus Cars USA is back in the game for 2015, including a move to the Detroit metro area.
The U.S. subsidiary of Lotus will relocate its headquarters to Ann Arbor, Mich. from Lawrenceville, Ga. by the end of July 2015, where it will share facilities with Lotus Engineering, AutoGuide reports. The move would allow both divisions more ability to grow, and would improve efficiency of operations.
Meanwhile, the first car to make its way across the Pond will be the 2017 Evora 400, sale of which are set to begin this December. The 3-Eleven track car and a proposed crossover are expected to follow.
Finally, Lotus’ U.S. dealership network recently expanded by four to 47 total showrooms, with more planned for the future. The four newest additions are in West Covina and Thermal, Calif., Scottsdale, Ariz. and Calgary, Alberta.

There is a sign hanging from the ceiling which reads "DMC." Delorian Motor Cars?
...eager to see the new 3-eleven: lotus plan to unveil the car at goodwood, which starts today...
Lotus HQ 40 years ago was on I-96 and/or Schoolcraft Road. I don't think it lasted there more than a few years. Who owns Lotus these days? There have been so many owners in the last 30 years.
Might have to jog by there some day. Nice place, close to downtown. Do they do any engineering of their own cars there?
