The Lotus that crashed in Goodwood did have tractioncontrol OFF. The driver forgot to turn it ON.. thats what happened, it was the drivers fault, not the car or the traction control.

[@ElMistroFeroz]

Exactly. No such thing as "Too Much Power".

[@gmcanberraaustralia]

Beautiful!!

[@electricviking]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@duncanedwards8258]

When it was a UK brand, Louts was considered to stand for "Lots Of Trouble, Usually Serious." Let's hope the Chinese reincarnation is more reliable!

Car and Driver says this is a concept car and they have no plans to put it in production. Their article was published two days ago, Sep 17 2024.

Cheers bro

Sam has bought all white color shirts in whole Australia

[@raymondschembri5042]

Same when you order a Tesla white . No extra costs . He can’t afford other colours 😅

[@jezza6575]

It’s a concept car that Lotus themselves state that they have no intentions of bringing it to market.

This guy just says whatever at this point

[@netgeek3010]

RIMAC set a production car record on the ring and I believe also at Goodwood? the Ring 7.04 seconds under less then optimal conditions.

In Lotus position on the back seats?

[@MrGMawson2438]

👌

[@chabbu64]

AFAIK the Lotus sports cars are going to continue to be built in the UK, with China producing the sedans and SUV's. This car is called Theory 1, and Lotus denies that this is a preview of a new Esprit, but many beleive it is.

[@teofilol2666]

Only developed in UK, not built

[@chillfluencer]

It's only a concept car Sam. It will never be built.

[@PlaidZoomer]

This is just a concept car, Who knows if it will ever go into production and also keep the design

[@teofilol2666]

You are confused between European concept cars and Chinese concept cars

[@philipgrice1026]

This fascination with outrageously expensive and over powered exotica is ridiculous. I'll be impressed when Lotus delivers an EV comparable to something like the '70s era Europas and Elans. Small, lightweight sports cars. Car with a gross weight under 700 kg, 75 kW motors and battery capacities below 35 kWh providing a range around 400 km. This is possible with technology available today. Somebody needs to tell Geely that Colin Chapman's philosophy of "simplicate, then add lightness" results in real progress. Such a product built with Chinese attention to reliability would be far more important than any burly exotic that will spend most of it's life in a garage, unused.

[@TheLDunn1]

“3500lbs” ….which equates to a little over 1500kg. So, twice as heavy as a Lotus Elise Series 1 then. Yeah, very light!

[@jsanders100]

Silly comparison, you’d need to compare it to a modern ICE sports car with similar specs

[@MartinMartinX]

I think Geely / Lotus did a slight mistake . They should drop the 3rd seat . They could do 2 seater / smaller - lighter car and try to hit weight around 1200 kg (1000 kg ?? ) There are so many unnecessary heavy systems used like that door system and so on. Are 3 seaters with extra weight more popular then 2 seaters with less weight ??

[@bautea]

It's a concept car anyway; the production model will definitely not be 3 seaters

[@MartinMartinX]

@@bautea Great ! Because they could make this car much lighter then = much better . Hadling / range ..

[@Tonystarkes888]

why 3 seats that seems so weird

[@ciybersal3499]

Its just a "theory", its not practical for most people. That's a fact.

[@MrSlicks88]

It is a good looking car and great innovations, however, it does look like a computer mouse in side profile

Assuming both this And the Tesla roadster go into production, Definitely not, because the Tesla will be higher volume and has much better specs. Besides that term as been dead for years

I've wanted an electric car since the Gulf War, that didn't need war for oil to run. Now I'm looking for an electric car that can go without Elon killing American democracy. This looks like what I want now.

[@Truthstelling]

Haha, You only have one vote in American democracy n nothing else. You have no say after that😂😂😂😂 The majority of American people don't want to go to wars, yet the government goes to war against the wishes of the people. That's not democracy for me.

[@olderchin1558]

Lotus will always be a British brand. You can't alter history. And it can still be a British car if the UK government isn't so anti-China and self-harming.

[@davidmaxwaterman]

If Ben & Jerry's is American (it isn't), then Lotus is British :)

Still no video on the ONVO L60 either Nio snubbed you Sam and you got your feelings hurt or a competitor is paying you to not report on them. I’ve been a follower for a long time I’m a Tesla share holder and your EV coverage is really good what I can’t understand as your clear bias against Nio. Does anyone know what happened because at one time he covered Nio and now basically nothing.

[@ronanoconnor4305]

IMO this Lotus is the type of car that should be produced with Battery swapping. I’d love to see swap stations at race tracks

[@MrPropanePete]

A Lotus is a British sports car with a Ford four cylinder motor. Anything other than this is not a Lotus.
