There\u2019s more to the future of Lotus than big electric<\/a> SUVs. That\u2019s what the British company once famous for its lightweight sports cars wants you to believe\u2014and it\u2019s why Lotus has revealed a striking new supercar concept, called Theory 1.<\/p>\n

To be clear, this is not an electric rebirth of the Lotus Esprit, the wedge-shaped ’70s icon driven into the sea by James Bond<\/a>. At least not yet. Lotus aficionados will notice its name isn\u2019t \u201cType\u201d followed by three numbers, as is concept car tradition, nor does it begin with an E, as almost all production Lotuses do. Instead, it\u2019s a way of showcasing technology that Lotus has planned for future cars and, just maybe, a hint of a supercar to come.<\/p>\n

Speaking exclusively to WIRED, Lotus design vice president Ben Payne said: \u201cWe wanted to recapture that sense of purity, but not to do a kind of pastiche of an Esprit, because that doesn\u2019t make any sense. So it\u2019s more about the spirit of that car, the logic of the design and how controlled it is in the execution.\u201d<\/p>\n
