With Black Friday a day away and the holiday shopping season about to go full bore, Lotus let loose a bevy of images that are making us revert back to our pre-teen days. The Lotus Hot Wheels concept that originally debuted at SEMA was one of our favorite in the group and the 1:5 scale model, created to celebrate Hot Wheels' 40th anniversary, will likely foretell the future styling direction of our favorite British sports car manufacturer.

The team that's currently working on Project Eagle had their hands in developing the concept, and although the model has a distinctly Elise/Exige feel to it, there are several elements, particularly the exposed center spine, Coke-bottle haunches, air intakes and rear diffuser, that give us hope for Lotus' future.

You can get all the details in the press release after the jump, check the gallery below for a series of detailed pics and buy your own when it goes on sale in the spring of next year.
