Just what exotic lovers have always wanted - a vehicle that actually has cargo space. The Lotus Group produced its first light commercial vehicle today, a small truck deemed the "Load Lugga". The dream of a sports car based pickup truck is now a reality!

Equipped with a pull-start, supercharged diesel powerplant, the Load Lugga is one of the first Lotus productions to mate lightweight design with 4 wheel drive technology.

Trevor Houghton-Berry, Head of Lotus Commercial Operations, envisioned the future with "the Elise Load Lugga as our first move into the lucrative LCV market and certainly lives up to the Lotus philosophy of ‘change the rules' We like trucking and we like to truck!"
