Lotus C-01 - Designed by Daniel Simon, the guy who pretty much reinvented Bugatti. I think that turned out pretty well for them. Hopefully he can do the same for Lotus who've had their share of financial troubles. You know you have money issues whey you let your star Formula One drivers (Kimi Raikkonen) paychecks bounce. I have doubts that a limited run of 100 will turn them around
A 200hp, 1195cc engine in a sub 400lb package. So... this thing will kill you quickly, but with a smile on your face. My guess is it's a KTM engine, the same one in the RC8 chassis. I don't think anyone else makes a 75° V-style engine in that size.
That said, this bike is stunning. Magnificent.
Peace & Grease, Jacob
