As of 2015, Lotus will no longer sell road cars in the United States, as sales of the Evora sports car come to an end.
Car and Driver reports that a waiver granted to the Evora for its lack of smart airbags has come to an end, and Lotus won't be making any modifications to help it comply with U.S regulations. That will leave Lotus with only a lineup of track-only variants of the Elise and Exige.
Lotus is also in the midst of mass layoffs at its UK headquarters, and both signs bode ill for the boutique sports car maker. Selling off the remainder of US-spec Evora inventory will take some time, but its unlikely that selling non-street legal cars will be enough to keep the American arm of Lotus afloat in the forseeable future.
