Lotus is synonymous with racing at the highest level of motorsport, the company made its name by winning the race with Jim Clark, Mario Andretti and Ayrton Senna. This association helps companies to be very successful on the road car market right now.
Went wrong after the death of founder Colin Chapman in 1982 and the company's reputation for high performance, innovation inspired participation Motorsports easily evaporate.
However, the company is now returning to its roots, under new leadership, a former Ferrari man Dany Bahar. You can see a return to high levels of motorsport (Formula One, IndyCar and Le Mans) and delivers high performance racing technology on the road like never before with the new T125.
Closer than ever in Formula 1
Appointed to harmonize them with the Lotus was the first F1 championship chassis (Lotus 25), Lotus T125 is so close to winning today's F1 Racer, and practicality and economy as possible. Powered by 640 hp 3.5-liter Cosworth V8 weighs just 650 kg, despite the F1-inspired aerodynamics, the T125 is the highest possible performance to track day car in the average gasoline heads ever get my hands on.
Only 25 T125, and that every customer gets one day individual training with the Formula 1 race winner Jean Alesi, the Lotus Indy 500 race for next year call. Moreover, every owner of a T125 choose a color scheme or a rental car, historic JPS Lotus, Camel and British Racing Green uniforms are available for all users.
But all these achievements and exclusivity is not free, T125 will cost nearly one million U.S. dollars. Moreover, anyone who is thinking of driving a car along the strict health and fitness tests to prove they can deal with extraordinary powers that the inhabitants of the body, with 5 grams (five times the force of gravity) to create advanced aerodynamics certain angles.
A small part of the F1 machines come with its own engine, assuming you have your own pit crew to start every time on the field. Lotus Marketing and PR Director Kevin Smith said: "It's as close as you can the F1 experience."
The future is just beginning
T125 is only the beginning for the future Lotus Bahar, who managed the company way back Motorsports. Bahar is the perception that the ratio of Motorsport is what Lotus is so successful that in prime time, and I hope it's not too late to catch the past glory.
The focus on technology development for Motorsports expected to have a ripple effect on the way the company's fleet, the new Lotus Esprit, Elan and Elise all efforts to reach the market over the next five years.
Perhaps one of the main drawbacks of T125 is that millions of dollars will probably suffice for a place in the main motto of the categories, such as F3, for a season, or even one day of winter testing to Buy Formula a solid back-markers HRT.
One must remember that millions of dollars just the initial purchase costs, including fuel and insurance prices, not the cost of replacement tires to mention F1 tires regularly firing rounds of 20-some circles. It is also likely that the traditional division of society, the cover will be interested to know that a comprehensive package, the prices of spare parts is probably astronomical.
