Lotus seeks exemption from U.S. safety rules


WASHINGTON -- Group Lotus PLC wants a three-year exemption from some U.S. safety standards so that it can bring its four-cylinder mid-engine Elise to the United States next year.

Lotus says it has spent $27 million to make the Elise meet U.S. regulations but cannot afford further changes for headlight and bumper standards. It says that a newly engineered Elise, due in 2006, would meet all standards.

A friend of mine is working on the HQ building for Lotus USA and has one on order. I'm told that this is an excemption on the front bumpers. Looking forward to seeing the thing in person; it's fast.
