After two years of development, the first photos of the prototype Lotus C-01 high-performance motorbike dropped on Thursday.
Although the C-01 will bear the Lotus name, it’s been developed by Kodewa, one of Lotus’s racing partners, in collaboration with the Holzer Group.
The C-01 will have a limited 100-example production run and was designed by Daniel Simon, famous for his work at Bugatti and on the “Tron Legacy” motion picture.
Constructed from a mix of steel, titanium and carbon fiber, it is powered by a 200hp, 1.2-liter V-twin engine which delivers its power via a 6-speed gearbox.
The bike will be available in a choice of liveries referencing Lotus’s racing pedigree, and, as with all vehicles this exclusive, a customization service is also available which will be limited “only by the imagination of the client.”
It is expected that this motorcycle will go in to production in a few months.Ā There is no word yet when the bike will be going on sale.
