Was kinda rooting for them because they were in a bit of an iffy spot over the last few years. But you always wanna see a British based company keep its head above water. But moving the UK based production to the US would be a massive slap in the face. Another iconic British sportscar brand becoming an absolute shadow.

Ah dude this is going to look so great in our carbon footprint audit! We should continue to chase away our industry and the rest of the world will look to us as a beacon of environmental responsibility!

Brexiteers are going to be so confused, they LOVE Trump. Yet here he is taking jobs from the UK, to the USA.
This MIGHT make Trump look good (in a small victories way) , but when it costs UK jobs Brexiteers are going to be confused.

TIL that Lotus still existed. Remember people liking the Lotus Elise as kids, but that was 25 years ago.

Come on everyone. You know the gig.
Blame the past 14 years. You know you’re foaming for it.
Or look at costs of production in this country. Something your deity Lord Almighty Starmer has done fuck all about.

It wasn’t long ago they received a £10.44 million grant from the government to support 300 new jobs. They should pay this back if they want to move production.

Given US tariffs I don’t see how this makes sense from a business point of view?

Geely owns Loutus. It’s a Chinese company run by a Chinese politician.

British engineering has suffered through our governments unfortunately. We are the best at what we do but it’s become uneconomical in the UK. My family had a fantastic engineering company but it can always be done cheaper, not necessarily better, abroad.(It wasn’t better)

Lotus? I’m pretty sure the British brand ceased years ago. China bought the name.

With the highest energy prices in the world, I’m surprised we haven’t lost all of our manufacturing to places like the US where their energy costs are 1/4 of ours
