In this week's bonus episode of the Autocar podcast, Autocar Meets Russell Carr, design director at Lotus.

Talking at an event in London to Autocar's editor-at-large Matt Prior, the pair discuss lightweight design in an electric age, what's going on at Hethel, and how Lotus fits into a multinational company like Geely.

The regular My Week In Cars podcast will also be with you throughout Christmas. If you subscribe to the feed you'll never miss one. And if you could review and share we'd appreciate it more than you know.
