“ | Greetings, my friend. It is very good to see you again. I've brought you here to Catalunya for a very special treat... I have here, not just one, but a veritable fleet of the amazing Lotus Type 125s! Lotus and I, we share a passion - a kindred spirit. Many believe the essence of speed is in the presence of power. But Lotus proves, definitively, that it is the absence of weight that brings real speed. Now how about we have some fun, yes? I'm sure your crew won't mind us spending some time with this beautiful chimera - so close to a Formula 1, and yet unique and apart from it forever! |

“ | I feel like Alice in Wonderland, tumbling through a world of story and majesty... But it is no cat nor queen I find, but the reimagining of the humble Speed Record! The heart of Lotus designs is the concept of 'adding lightness'. As Colin Chapman said, 'Adding power makes you faster on the straights; subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere'. |
