Lotus teases potential new track car with rear wing image

In an ambitious expansion of its business and brand, Lotus has announced a raft of new projects under the umbrella of Lotus Advanced Performance, including cars commissioned by customers themselves, a renewed motor sport presence and a mysterious new prototype design.

To illustrate the idea of a new dawn of design, Lotus has presented a slightly ambiguous render, which it describes as “an enticing new image of a rear wing from Lotus Design [which] hints at an exciting future project,” possibly one intended for competition or as a track car.

This may link in to ambitions in motor sport, which will for now take the form of supporting racing purchasers of the Emira GT4 competition car, the final combustion engine powered-machine to be produced by the Norfolk company.

After linking up with Jenson Button’s bespoke Radford coach building project, Lotus now states its aim to produce “ultra-exclusive and unique vehicle” halo projects, as well as “exclusive high-spec and highly desirable versions of Lotus cars, allowing customers to stand out from the crowd.”
