EMAS-City Car@2013

Its been a very long time since KLIMS--I didn't mention anything about world's automobile. Lucky me yesterday, Dany Bahar has revealed that the Lotus City Car concept has been confirmed and will be launched as a production car in October 2013. He also mentioned that the car would be a project together with Proton and another car manufacturer, which leads us to believe that Proton and Lotus have found a suitable third party to share in the development costs of the vehicle, or at least provide a platform.

According to Bahar, there will be three cars spawned from the project – one for the Asian market -- this should be Proton’s, one for the European market [the third party?] and a sportier version --this is the Lotus for sure. So who might this third party be? There has not been any official word yet but according to Autocar India back in November this year, the Nissan V platform might be used to underpin the EMAS range of cars.

Just wait and see what is the Proton's next step?!
