The '''Lotus APX''' (APX stands for ''Aluminum Performance Crossover'') is a [[concept car]] created by the British automobile marque, [[Lotus Cars|Lotus]]. It was first introduced at the 2006 [[Geneva Motor Show]]. It is the first complete vehicle built on the new [[Versatile Vehicle Architecture]] (VVA). This vehicle is also a first for Lotus, as it is the first [[crossover SUV]] they have ever built.

==Engine==
The APX uses a [[supercharger|supercharged]] [[V6]] engine. It gives out a displacement of 3 liters. It can go from 0-60 mph in about five seconds. The APX's top speed is 152 miles per hour. The suspension of the APX makes it perfect for [[off-road]] use (another first for the Lotus brand).

==Design==
The APX exterior is very sporty and very slick with the fact that it is all-aluminum. The interior of the APX derives from [[sportscar]]s, which derives from Lotus' specialty. It features, like any other modern concept car, digital screens, futuristic gadgets, and plenty of buttons. It does feature HVAC control.
