Lotus will be unveiling this concept car called the Lotus APX Concept at the 2006 Geneva Auto Salon. The APX is built using Lotus’s Versatile Vehicle Architecture (VVA) and is powered by a 3.0 liter supercharged V6 engine making 300 horsepower.

The Lotus APX (stands for Aluminium Performance Crossover) has an all-aluminium monocoque structure and follows true to Lotus’s “Performance through Light Weight” core brand value. The APX’s power to weight ratio is about 190 horsepower per tonne.

Perhaps Proton might use this for an MPV model. Thanks to Nahar for the pointer!

After exactly a month after it’s release and another version later, I finally upgraded to Wordpress 2. The blog is currently running on Wordpress 2.0.1, which has a truck load of fixes over Wordpress 2.0. 114 bugs have been fixed!

Haven’t really noticed anything new yet in this new milestone of Wordpress, except for the post preview feature which shows the post within the proper blog layout instead of just text in Wordpress 1.5.

If you find anything messed up with the blog, please do leave a comment and I’ll try to fix it as soon as possible!
