The 16 valve 907 type lotus engine timings on a pair of 8 valve cams. Only done in development though, not a production profile. It has been written in various of the books how Lotus sort to re vamp the plus 2 model at the end of its life to fill in for the poor reception and sales of the newer wedge cars such as the Elite 907 and dabbled with the idea of even going as far as lifting out the twincam all together and fitting the 16 valve motor. There are also drawings of the side elevation of the Plus 2 with various decals applied to mimic vents behind the front wheel arch and along both sides of the bonnet that occasionally make an appearence in the various publications. Actually in one of the drawings the Plus 2 is shown with a triangular satin decal applied to the rear pillar behind the door with the lotus emblem die cut out so it would appear body colour and it looked quite good. I guess they were trying to 70ize the car but the ideas were shelved.
