LOTUS SKUNKWORKS TO SPAWN ‘BLANK SHEET’ BESPOKE MODELS
Lotus has launched an in-house special operations division, Lotus Advanced Performance, to develop bespoke and limited-run projects.
The new division will be headed by Simon Lane, previously head of the similarly positioned Q by Aston Martin outfit, who welcomed the “blank sheet of paper” opportunity to develop “the most exciting and exclusive Lotus cars, embracing our exciting electrified future while honouring our illustrious past”.
The brand remains tight-lipped on LAP’S first project, but a preview image hints at an open-wheel track car inspired by historic Formula 1.
