Lotus Exos (Type 125) period: 2011
engine: Cosworth GPV8, 650 bhp
# made: 2 (this car never sold, just 2 prototypes)
Is this the ultimate track car? It is based on a Formula One car
and uses F1 technology and a Cosworth V8 engine. The car looks like
one of the 2009/2010 F1 cars.
With a weight of 560 kg and with the Cosworth GPV8 engine producing
650 BHP this car gives the driver the feeling of driving a Formula
One car. The engine should be good for 4.500 km before a rebuild is
needed.
The chassis is a carbon fiber monocoque, carbon ceramic brakes and a
carbon fiber pushrod suspension. In the cockpit we see more F1
technology, looking at the steering wheel with a screen and various
buttons to adjust things while driving.
Lotus reveiled that according to plan there will be 25 Exos made in
2011 and the price will be around USD 1.000.000 each.
