When I was at the Lotus dealership several years ago looking at the Evora the sales guy hinted that a Crosworth could find it's way into the car in a few years.

Cosworth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cosworth is a high-performance engineering company founded in London in 1958, specialising in engines and electronics for automobile racing (motorsport), mainstream automotive and defence industries. Cosworth is based in Northampton, England, with North American facilities in Torrance, CA, Indianapolis and Mooresville, NC........................

Both of the co-founders being former employees of Lotus Engineering Ltd., Cosworth initially maintained a strong relationship with Colin Chapman and the initial revenues of the company came almost exclusively from Lotus......................

From this time on, Cosworth was supported by Ford for many years, and many of the Cosworth designs were owned by Ford, and named as Ford engines under similar contracts...............................

In 1998, Vickers sold Cosworth and Pi Research to Ford.[1] In September, 2004 Ford announced that it was selling Cosworth and Pi Research, along with Cosworth Racing Ltd and its Jaguar Formula One team. On 15 November 2004, the sale of Cosworth was completed, to Champ Car World Series owners Gerald Forsythe and Kevin Kalkhoven, the current Cosworth Group.[1]...............

The road car engine aspect of the business was split from the racing division following the sale of the engineering division of Cosworth to VW/Audi in September 1998 and renamed Cosworth Technology, before being acquired by Mahle GmbH in 2005. Cosworth Technology was then renamed as MAHLE Powertrain on 1 July 2005.[3]

A Lotus powered by a MAHLE would be interesting, but they should change the name back to Cosworth.
