Troubled Lotus shows off wedge-like vision for an EV sportscar


The three-seater is a four-wheeled testbed for Lotus' imagination.

The wedge-shaped concept, called Theory 1, is meant to be Lotus' new design manifesto for all its future cars and combines some eye-popping technical specs along with an adaptive driving experience that uses haptics and binaural sound to enhance driver feedback. In doing this, we are able to bring drivers the best possible immersive driving experience with raw emotion, functionality and connectivity, at the core," said Ben Payne, vice president of design at Lotus Group. The Eletre SUV was met with mixed reviews and plenty of people questioning whether it really deserved to wear the Lotus badge, a brand characterized by the slogan "simplify and add lightness."
