Since 1976 Maglia Wojciech Szczesny , the Lotus Esprit has given people a spectrum of sensations. Originally tabbed as the replacement for the famous Europa, over time it has been in a position to make a legend of its own. Coming under different forms throughout its history, each version of the Esprit has in some way been able to raise the bar and satisfy expectations of legions of car fans everywhere. And now, this spectrum of sensations can be evoked once again. Because if everything proceeds as planned, the Lotus Esprit is set to return for an encore somewhere between 2013 and 2014.

During the 2010 Paris Auto Show, Lotus has made a splash in front of a lot of automotive fans. 5 completely new cars were released and are geared up to be produced within a couple of years. But the car that took center stage is the Esprit. It was the first time that the namesake was used since production was halted in 2004. And it was quite a car. According to Lotus chief executive officer Dany Bahar, it would mark the return of the final supercar. And based on how it looks, it might be in a position to back up Bahar’s word.

It is hard to build a successor of any car, particularly when it has the standing of the Esprit. This car is the exemplification of an ideal sports car, the stuff of James Bond movies. The style was innovative as it was stylish. It is easily about the most aggressive looking concept cars seen in recent memory. Evoking the sensations developed by the prior generation Esprit models, it is sharp and edgy like its forefathers, showing that Guigaro’s original Esprit concept is still alive and well. Still, it is every bit as modern as it was nostalgic. From the LED lights to the radically sculpted rear end, the Esprit is made to take on the sports cars of the future.

Going inside the car, the futuristic theme goes to another level, and unleashes a couple of more colors from the spectrum. Featuring a minimalist approach, a high technology steering wheel, a digital instrument cluster, and carbon fiber trim all give individuals who are lucky enough to get inside it a glimpse of an honest sports car in action.

Under the hood, speculations abound. A V6 or a V8 engine can either (or both) be used for the vehicle. Both developed in-house, they also might feature turbocharging. A horsepower output in between 500 to 600 brake horse power all seem likely, and is expected to be lighter and more fuel efficient than similar engines. Hybrid power can also be seen sooner or later. Mated with a 7-speed transmission (with the possibility of having 2 clutches), it is expected to accelerate from zero-to-100 kph under 3.5 seconds and max out at over 200 miles an hour. Those are obviously supercar numbers, and can get anyone’s sensations pumped up.

Once development is dead, the Lotus Esprit is going to make its comeback in 2013 at the earliest. And established on what we saw on the prototype, it can unleash the same spectrum of sensations car aficionados experienced with the Esprit cars of yesteryear.

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 21 (Xinhua) -- The death toll from Tuesday's 7.1-magnitude earthquake in central Mexico has climbed to 273, the government said on Thursday.

Half of those deaths occurred in the capital Mexico City, where nearly 40 buildings collapsed, and the remainder in surrounding and nearby states.

According to a release from the national civil protection agency, 137 people were killed in the capital, 73 in Morelos state, 43 in Puebla state, 13 in the State of Mexico, six in Guerrero state and one person in Oaxaca state.

The death toll is likely to rise as rescue operations continue and bodies are retrieved from the rubble of buildings destroyed by the quake, the agency said.

In an interview with local media, Mexico City Mayor Miguel Angel Mancera said authorities have recovered the bodies of 87 women and 50 men, including 25 minors.

"Until all hope is lost, we will continue the rescue efforts in zones damaged by the quake," Mancera posted to Twitter.

The local government, he added, has declared the city to be in a state of disaster to facilitate federal funding for the reconstruction effort.

Some 5,000 residents forced from their homes are currently at 47 temporary shelters opened around the city, he said.

The number of buildings that collapsed stands at 38, while the number of buildings that sustained damaged has risen to 2,900, he said.

Rescue efforts are ongoing at 10 of 38 buildings that toppled in the capital, Mexico's President Enrique Pena Nieto said earlier in the day, during a visit to a town in Puebla that was hard hit.

"We will have to maintain the rescue efforts to find people who are still alive under the rubble," Pena Nieto said.

Experts say earthquake victims can survive up to 72 hours, or three days, without water. With the quake occurring at a little past 1 p.m. on Tuesday, that would mean the chances of finding survivors would fall considerably by that time on Friday.

The Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) announced it restored power to nearly 95 percent of regions that suffered a blackout following the strongest quake to hit the capital in three decades.

The Health Ministry said hospitals have treated 2,633 people injured in the quake, most in the capital, where 1,998 people suffered injuries.
