    Dany Bahar Strikes from Beyond the (Corporate) Grave!

    Lotus is Building the Lotus C-01, a Motorcycle Designed by Daniel Simon

    Lotus have decided to finally heed Chapman's advice and remove the useless extra wheels and body that most Loti are burdened with. ...and then get a bunch of Germans to make this Malaysian-British bike in China.

    You know they're serious because they made a website.

    This is going straight into my automotive vaporware section of new cars along with the Fisker Atlantic.

    With a base in Germany? I wonder what the philosophy will be behind the bike. Lotus already has a reputation to follow and a bike is already a minimalist mode of transportation.

    Yeah, I think Lotus already has a connection to the German company by way of their endurance racing, but don't quote me on that. It's like Prodrive building a special edition Impreza, except it doesn't make any sort of sense.

    I appreciate your pluralization of "Lotus".
