Lotus CEO Jean-Marc Gales has stepped down from his position with the British company.

Lotus CEO Jean-Marc Gales was recently caught going 106 mph in a 70 mph zone, but the 54-year old avoided major discipline after a visit to the magistrates’ court in Norwich, UK.

Far from its conclusion, the saga between Lotus and former CEO Dany Bahar will soldier on now that the ex exec is suing for 6.7 million pounds ($10.6 million).

Rumors have been quick to swirl around Lotus and its CEO, Dany Bahar, this year including speculation that trouble with the company brewed beneath the surface. Those rumors were repeatedly dismissed, but now the word is out: Bahar has been temporarily suspended.
