20 February 2014 New Kodewa Lotus C-01 motorcycle is ready to roar... |
|
Following two years of careful planning and
intense development, Kodewa is delighted to
announce that the prototype of the world’s first
motorcycle to bear the legendary Lotus marque is
now road registered and ready for action.
Kodewa has been granted a license to produce the
motorcycle by Group Lotus plc, the world
renowned sportscar manufacturer and engineering
consultancy.
The C-01 motorcycle is not designed, engineered or produced by Group Lotus plc but is the result of a collaboration between motorsport veterans under the leadership of Kodewa, lead by Dr Colin Kolles. The development on the C-01 was carried out with the support of Holzer Group (co-owners of Kalex) and design guru Daniel Simon. Drawing on their wealth of motorsport experience, the team of engineers has designed a unique high performance superbike. The C-01 will be available in a range of
liveries some of which pay homage to Lotus’
sporting pedigree. A customisation service is
also available, limited only by the imagination
of the client. With an exclusive production run
of just 100 units, superbike collectors and fans
of the Lotus brand will need to move fast to
secure one. Commenting on the C-01 Güther Holzer, CEO of Holzer Group said: “I was one of the first people to ride it and I have to say I was very impressed. Together we have found that delicate balance between raw, aggressive power and breath-taking handling. The team has created something very special, it looks incredible, it sounds fantastic but above all, the ride is sensational. I’m very happy.” Designer Daniel Simon said: “The design
process of the C-01 was a labour of love, there
were many challenges, ensuring that the bike not
only touches your visual senses with its
timeless blend of classic appeal and modern
execution, but that is safe and ergonomically
sound was critical to me. We have worked hard to
create a motorcycle with very distinctive
features such as a clean main body, an extremely
low side profile, a bold stance, a unique air
intake, logical partline solutions and clean
graphics.” Engine: |
