The Lotus APX (Aluminum Performance Crossover) which graced
the floors at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show was a vehicle
designed not to show off Lotus' latest production vehicle
or design language. Instead the APX was meant to highlight
the company's new Versatile Vehicle Architecture (VVA)
technology.
VVA is a unique and innovative construction method which
uses modular aluminium components in order to allow automakers
to develop and produce niche, low-volume vehicles faster
and at a lower cost - while still retaining extremely
high quality, safety and handling levels (partially due
to the low weight).
The Lotus APX concept featured a seven seat interior with
a 2+3+2 seating layout. The interior was trimmed in a
minimalist manner with aluminium and silver highlights
standing out from the black leather and plastic.
Powering the Lotus APX was a 300 horsepower, 3.0 litre
V6 mounted up front. This unit was connected to a AWD
transmission.
