Just when you thought it was all over, Lotus stole the Paris Motor Show this week with it’s amazing debut of five beautiful concept cars. Whatever you thought and believed about Lotus prior today, seriously forget about it. These concepts will blow your mind so hard your eyes will need a tissue.

Lotus has had a relatively mild decade and a half, comprising of a relative small lineup mostly revolving on the Elise model and my favorite, the hardcore version called the Exige. As cool as it was to see it battle an Apache Helicopter, part of me questioned the potential Lotus was squandering with creating innovative lightweight superhandling supercars without compromising such luxuries as… A/C. Well, that all ended today.
