The Lotus Mk 10 or Mark X, of which only 6 or 7 were made, was essentially identical to the Mk 8 but made use of the larger 2 litre Bristol engine. The Lotus Mk 8, Mk 9 and Mk 10 were transitional forms although they represent the first full bodied aerodynamic Lotus sports cars, they made use of the De Dion tube as a rear suspension locator, and also inboard rear brakes. The more successful Lotus 11, of which 270 were manufactured between 1956 and 1958 was the direct descendant of these earlier cars.

The earlier cars are today considered rare and highly valued collectible automobiles, even museum pieces, but can still be seen raced in vintage events.
