Lotus Theory 1, a three-seater supercar concept with 1,000 PS power

Lotus seems to be relentless in introducing new powerful electric models.

The latest offering from the British manufacturer is a concept model named Lotus Theory 1.

This electric supercar features dual electric motors with all-wheel drive system capable of generating 1,000 PS of power.

It accelerates from 0-100 km/h in less than 2.5 seconds, reaching a maximum speed of 320 km/h.

Its 70 kWh battery pack allows a range of 402 km on a full charge.

The carbon chassis construction also contributes to keeping the weight below 1,600 kg.

Moreover, the exterior design of the Theory 1 is said to be inspired by the S1 Esprit, showcasing sharp edges and a cab-forward shape reminiscent of the mid-engined layout of the Esprit model.

The concept model also introduces several interesting innovations.

For instance, the adaptive robotic system Lotuswear, developed in collaboration with Motorskins, provides tactile feedback to the driver through the bumps generated on the seats and the steering wheel.

Lotus Theory 1 also comes with steer-by-wire steering system, allowing the driver to customize steering ratio and response according to individual preferences.

In the center of the carbon tub, Theory 1 features a three-seater layout, where the middle seat is dedicated to the driver, while the passengers sit on the driver’s right and left.

It is equipped with a head-up display screen, along with built-in speakers integrated into the headrest structure for each seat.
