So while out driving yesterday I was passed by something that looked amazing and expensive. No model names or manufacturer insignia were visible so I didn't recognize it at first. Turns out I was witnessing what was likely the only Lotus sports car in a 300 mile radius. The guy seemed to be having a good time as we "raced" through traffic. My mustang had no chance as I was driving much safer than he was due to the heavy traffic. But it was interesting to see one of these cars in my area, which is full of old people and definitely not to many sport car enthusiasts.
And since I have no idea what model of Lotus it was, here are some random pictures/videos.
it looked like this. but didn't say LOTUS or EXIGE
"The world's most beautiful cars almost always look like a naked woman lying on her stomach about to get up." -unknown
The body resting above all those electrons is aluminum, with swan doors allowing entry to the leather-lined cabin.
The seats inside are fixed, with the steering wheel, instruments and pedals moving to accommodate the driver.
Three high-res TFT screens present driver information, with readouts and displays switchable between all of the screens.
The body looks much better from a top down view.
My only real problem with the car. The bumper is non-existent.
Jaguar has this to say about the genesis of the C-X75 Concept, "The aim was to produce not only the most innovative but also one of the most beautiful Jaguars ever; one which hints at an exciting evolution of the marque's award-winning design language while paying homage to some of its most admired cars of years gone by."
Unfortunately, the C-X75 Concept is just that, a concept. There are no plans to make it for the market.
With the turbine design and interior's uniqueness, The C-X75 has earned a place on my dream car list.
