Lotus C-01 Motorcycle
The Futuristic Lotus C-01 Motorcycle Heads for Production
MARCH 24, 2014
Germany’s Lotus Motorcycles
has teamed up with the German conceptual-vehicle designer Daniel Simon
to create the C-01 motorcycle. While Simon’s best-known work includes
the light cycles seen in the 2010 film Tron: Legacy and the bubble copter in the 2013 film Oblivion,
he is regarded in the automotive world for his work at Bugatti. The
C-01 motorcycle features a 200 hp, four-stroke, 2-cylinder V-twin engine
(a modified version of KTM’s 1,195 cc engine), which is draped
underneath a carbon-fiber shell and sits neatly in a frame of an
aerospace steel, titanium, and carbon fiber. The C-01, which indeed
looks like it belongs in a science-fiction movie, is more than a mere
two-wheel fantasy. Lotus Motorcycles (whose name was licensed from the
British carmaker) has confirmed that it plans to put the C-01 motorcycle
into production starting next month. The company says that production
versions of the bike (about $139,000) should emerge from the factory in
August. (www.lotus-motorcycles.com)
