Now here’s some news to get excited about. Lotus has just announced it has partnered with Cosworth to create new high-performance, Toyota-based engines for its street cars and its racers. The two companies are legends in their own right when it comes to automotive engineering, with Lotus holding the crown in suspension and chassis design and Cosworth being the do-all to end-all of engine development. While both companies are keeping their secrets to themselves at the moment, you can bet we can expect a little more power and a good deal more fuel economy from partnership at the same time.
