Lotus Cars was founded in 1948 by Colin Chapman, a visionary engineer who believed in the principle of "simplify, then add lightness." The brand was initially formed as Lotus Engineering Ltd and became renowned for its innovative and lightweight sports cars. Through the years, Lotus made its mark in motorsports, most notably winning the Formula 1 World Championship in the 1960s and 1970s with iconic models like the Lotus 25 and Lotus 72. Known for their blend of performance, agility, and design, Lotus cars like the Elan, Esprit, and more recently, the Evija, continue to captivate driving enthusiasts worldwide. Today, as part of the Geely Automobile Holdings, Lotus remains committed to pushing the boundaries of automotive engineering with a focus on electric vehicle technology and performance.
