No Mini connection. The car has not been built, it was just a design proposal.
Anything to do with the late Geoff Matthews ?

No connection. This design is more recent than Matthews's career.

Electric Urban car concept by Lotus, 2009
That is correct! Could you tell me the reason why Lotus created this concept? Locked of course.
Well I am sorry but after three weeks and no further reply from thewarlord, I have to unlock this puzzle so that someone else can complete the answer and win the point, which is easy now.
Lotus was asked to produce the city car design as a study for Automotive Engineer magazine
That is correct, you are one step closer to Pro status!
Automotive Engineer magazine commissioned Lotus Design in 2009 to imagine an urban electric vehicle for the future. The result was not exactly groundbreaking even for that time, although it combined some nifty ideas from other cars, such as the extremely space-efficient four-seater packaging, electric powertrain under the floor, sliding doors, etc. Then again, Lotus did not invest a lot of time in this project, turning in the final proposal just two weeks after the initial brainstorm with the magazine editors.
