Lotus Motorcycles – C-01 goes the two-wheeled route

Something new from Lotus, and it’s not of the usual vehicular variety. News has come about that the brand is stepping into the world of two-wheelers, doing so through a new concern called Lotus Motorcycles, a joint project of German motor racing team Kodewa, tuning firm Holzer Group and car designer Daniel Simon.

The company’s very first bike, which is designed by Simon, will be called the Lotus C-01, a hyper bike with integrated racing technology and around 200 hp of power. Carbon, titanium and aerospace quality steel are set to feature strongly in the bike’s construction.

No images of the high-tech ride as yet, but the company says that the first visuals are set to be released in the coming weeks. Simon says (ha!) that the colour scheme will have black and gold in it, as a homage to the brand’s iconic racing livery. More in the coming weeks.

Lotus C-01 motorcycle debuts with 200 hp 1.2L V-twin                                                

In Bikes, International News, Lotus Motorcycles / By Hafriz Shah / 24 February 2014 5:59 pm / 45 comments                                                                                       

                                                

It took a while longer than planned, but the Lotus C-01, the first product of Lotus Motorcycles, is now ready to take to the streets. It’s breathtaking isn’t it? The C-01 will have a limited production run of just 100 units, so superbikers and collectors, you better move fast to get one.
Mind you, it’s not exactly a Lotus per se, nor was it designed, engineered or produced by Group Lotus. What it actually is, is the result of a collaboration between motorsport veterans Kodewa and Kalex, which is licensed to use the Lotus name. In fact, its official designation is Kodewa Performance Motorcycles (PMC) C-01, Licensed by Lotus.

But let’s forget about the technicalities for now, and focus on the bike itself. If it reminds you of the Tron: Legacy bike, that’s because they share the same concept designer, Daniel Simon. The PMC/Lotus C-01 will be available with a range of motorsport-inspired liveries like the three below. A customisation service, apparently “limited only by the imagination of the client” is also available.

Kodewa’s Dr Colin Kolles said, “we set out to create a bike that isn’t just great to ride but also represents a piece of art in motion. Over the years I have seen my fair share of style over substance, what this bike brings to the market is a unique combination of both – state of the art technology with a truly jaw-dropping aesthetic.”

Power comes from a 200 hp 1.2 litre V-twin engine from the KTM RC8, connected to a six-speed “jaw-type” shift transmission with a traditional chain drive. As promised, the distinctive body integrates carbon-fibre, titanium and aerospace-quality steel.
So here it is, boys and girls; the Lotus C-01. What say you?
