North America will get to see the Evora Cup GT4 race car and the refreshed 2011 Elise SC RGB Edition for the first time. But this two N.A. premieres are just appetizers for what the British company is really preparing.
Lotus announced that it will introduce an all-new race car, which will be called 125 and will represent “the ultimate consumer track and race car”.
The Lotus 125 will make its world debut at the Monterey Motorsports Pre-Reunion at Laguna Seca this weekend. Lotus hasn’t offered any details for the vehicle, probably betting that the anticipation is worth millions of marketing points. The company only mentions that “the Lotus 125 is being engineered and developed to provide its select few owners the absolute ultimate in a track driving and racing experience.”
“The Lotus 125 will initially be shown in the Lotus Exhibit during the Monterey Motorsports Pre-Reunion weekend Saturday and Sunday, August 7 - 8 at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. On Wednesday night, August 11, the Lotus 125 will be displayed at the McCall Motorworks Revival at the Monterey Jet Center along with our current Lotus IndyCar. Lotus IndyCar and former Formula 1 driver Takuma Sato and 1996 IndyCar champion Jimmy Vasser will also be on hand at the Lotus display. Finally, the Lotus 125 will grace the Concept Car Lawn at The Lodge at Pebble Beach on Saturday afternoon, August 14 and all day Sunday, August 15 during the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance,” stated the press release.
