In 1982, the Eclat was developed into the Eclat Excel (later badged simply as the Lotus Excel), which used the same engine, but a modified version of the chassis, altered bodywork, and Toyota gearbox, driveline, and brakes.

The Lotus Excel was based on the earlier Eclat which in turn was based on the Elite II.
Toyota had contracted Lotus to assist with engineering work on the Supra. During this period Toyota were a major share holder in Lotus. Part of the deal allowed Lotus the use of Toyota mechanical components. Originally the Excel (a.k.a. Eclat Excel) used the W58 transmission, driveshaft and differential and the alloy wheels and door handles of the 1982-86 Toyota Supra Mk.II. The engine was the Lotus slant four used in the Lotus Esprit S3.
In 1985 the Excel SE was introduced with with an upgraded 180bhp engine and in 1986 an Automatic version the SA was introduced
