Group Lotus PLC could be liquidated in order for the company, which consists of Lotus Cars, Lotus Motorsport and Lotus Engineering, to pay its debts.
According to Autocar, an announcement made by the HM Courts & Tribunals Service has revealed that Group Lotus PLC is on the Companies Court Winding Up list. However, Group Lotus representatives have denied liquidation claims, saying that the appearance of the company's name on the CCWU list was the result of a legal case that "we can't comment on".
Whatever the case, the fact that Group Lotus has some unpaid bills is not a mystery. Even if the liquidation will indeed take place, the Lotus F1 team won't be affected and would continue to use the famous name. Group Lotus, which is now owned by Malaysian company DRB-HICOM, will issue a full statement later today.
