The Lotus Eclat is a distinct grand tourer produced by Lotus Cars between 1975 and 1982, known for its sleek coupe design and sport-tuned performance. Built on the Lotus Elite's platform, the Eclat featured a fiberglass body and was powered by a variety of four-cylinder engines, including the popular 2.0-liter and 2.2-liter Lotus-built units. Over its production run, the Eclat saw minor updates in styling and mechanical components, maintaining its reputation for agile handling and lightweight construction. The car remains a unique classic within Lotus's lineup, bridging the gap between compact sports cars and comfortable GTs.
