This video, "The Making Of Theory 1 | Lotus Cars," offers a behind-the-scenes look at the two-year journey to create the Lotus Theory 1, their first concept car built on the Digital, Natural, Analogue design philosophy. The mission was to define Lotus's DNA for the contemporary world, resulting in a "new archetype" that reimagines performance cars.
Key aspects highlighted in the video include:
Design Process: The video shows the meticulous design process, including discussions about sharper lines on the door and the integration of exterior design elements into the interior. There's also a focus on ensuring precise measurements and avoiding deviations from the design.
Engineering Challenges: The goal was to achieve a sub-1,600kg electric hypercar delivering 986hp, engineered with just ten core surface materials, including a recycled carbon tub and a patent-pending door system.
Experiential Future: The team emphasizes creating an "experiential future" for the car, pushing boundaries to achieve what seemed impossible.
