  • Hot Wheels UCL and Group Lotus: Celebrating Colin Chapman's Legacy of Engineering Innovation
    The official industry newsletter of Lotus Engineering Issue 23 November/December 2007 UCL and Group Lotus: Celebrating Colin Chapman’s legacy of engineering innovation Hot Wheels Lotus Engineering Change the Rules Welcome Sometimes it’s great to see what happens when anything goes. The business of designing and engineering cars is a constant balancing act. Many factors influence the final product: market and customer requirements affect form and function, legislation is an unavoidable factor, engineering feasibility and manufacturing practically have to be considered. There are many more, not least cost – a product can only be successful if it works on a commercial basis. This careful balancing act is something that Lotus understands – it is critical for us to make a successful business out of niche volume cars – and it is something that our engineering clients value. It is incredibly important and at the heart of the work we do. But great things can also happen when talented designers and engineers operate outside the normal, ‘real-world’ constraints. The Tokyo motor show allows the Japanese Peter Morgan industry to play with technology. As ever, this year, there were many weird and wonderful examples. 10 Closer to home, the awesome Lotus Concept for Hot Wheels is the glorious result of Lotus Design being given the creative freedom to design a futuristic car to be made into a 1:64 scale toy car. Steven Crijns describes how his concept came to be. Although, if ever there was an article that was all about looking at the pictures, this is it. Sadly it won’t be on sale until next year, so too late for my Christmas list.

    Press Release OCTOBER 06, 2013 Podium lock out for Renault power in Korean Grand Prix Sebastian Vettel wins Korean Grand Prix for Infiniti Red Bull Racing­Renault, four seconds ahead of Kimi Raikkonen. Lotus F1 Team’s Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean finish second and third to make podium 100% Renault powered. Third all­Renault powered podium this season. Vettel has led 209 of the past 213 racing laps. Vettel’s win gives him a mathematical chance to seal championship in Japan. Renault­powered drivers locked out the podium in today’s Korean Grand Prix, with Sebastian Vettel (Infiniti Red Bull Racing) winning the chaotic race from Lotus F1 Team’s Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean. The perfect podium result is the third time this season that the podium has been 100% Renault­powered.* Vettel – whose pole position yesterday took Renault’s total of F1 poles to 208, equal with Ferrari’s record – opened up a comfortable lead at the start ahead of Grosjean, who had jumped ahead of Hamilton on the first corner. The pair built up a cushion of several seconds over the battles behind and were able to pit and rejoin in formation. Vettel remained in front despite two different safety cars but Raikkonen got the jump on Grosjean before the second safety car period. The Finn had a standout race from P9 on the grid, overtaking Rosberg, Hamilton, Alonso, Hulkenberg and finally his team­mate to score his second consecutive podium. Mark Webber started from P13 as a result of a grid penalty but quickly found himself into the top ten racing with Alonso and Raikkonen.
