Lotus keeps Norfolk factory open for sales

Lotus keeps Norfolk factory open for sales

The luxury carmaker will continue making petrol sports cars in Britain to serve American customers. Lotus extended production of its £80,000 Emira model at the Norfolk plant after Chinese owner Geely previously considered closure. The factory employs 900 people but only builds 2,000 cars yearly despite having capacity for 10,000.
