Lotus Responds and Insists it Has Nothing to Do with Bulleta Motors [Updated]



The latest developments on the story that erupted between Bulleta Motors and Lotus Cars USA here on Carscoops, has the Marketing & PR Communications Executive of the British carmaker's U.S. arm, Kevin Smith, emailing us a new statement in which he insists that the automaker has nothing to do with Bulleta Motors – period.

However, before we tell you about it, allow us to briefly recap the story. Last Friday, we wrote about the new Bulleta RF22 project, a future sports car based on the running gear of the Lotus Evora. On Tuesday, Lotus Cars USA press spokesperson Kevin Smith sent us an email describing the RF22 as "Vapor", adding that the British company has no official connection to Bulleta Motors.

On the same day, Bulleta Motors co-founder Ferris Rezvani attacked us for reporting on Mr. Smith's statement and requested we remove the posting as its "unfounded and un informed" as well as "embarrassing" for our site. He added that Lotus Cars USA is simply a reseller and that Mr. Smith was not aware of his relationship with Lotus UK.
