Lotus M250

== Description ==
The Lotus M250 is a concept car designed by Lotus Cars in 1999. Designed by Russell Carr and unveiled at the 1999 Frankfurt Motor Show, the M250 was a more luxury-oriented coupe than other Lotus offerings. Referred to internally as the Monaco, the M250 featured many things not often found on Lotus models, such as swan doors, electric windows, air conditioning and internal locking, and was constructed using a mix of bonded aluminum and carbon fiber. The M250 was slated to be powered by naturally-aspirated 3.0L V6 mated to a 6-speed manual, producing 250 horsepower. The M250 was slated to enter production in 2001 with a targeted production rate of 3,000 cars a year; production was ultimately scrapped. The current location of the car is unknown.
The casting was apparently retooled in 2013, but there are no notable differences.
