STORY
The Speedster was a small two-seat roadster that Lotus built at Hethel in Norfolk on the same line as the Elise, and the UK sold it as the Vauxhall VX220. The concept was shown at the Geneva show in March 1999, and Lotus and General Motors struck a deal later that year that also helped pay for the new Elise. The usual engine was the 2.2-litre Ecotec from the Astra, and a 2.0-litre turbo with 200 PS followed in 2003. Production ended in 2005 with no direct successor.
