Factory tours of the Hethel, home of Lotus since 1966, are resuming for the public Lotus said today starting at £95 per visitor. Tours at the Norfolk site were paused in November 2017 for a £100 million makeover to prepare for Emira production, the last petrol-powered (gasoline – Yanks) car from Lotus. Elmira is now in production in an all-new assembly hall. The tour program has been developed by an “experiential team” within the recently launched Lotus Advanced Performance division and will begin on Monday 4 April.
