Meet the Lotus C-01 Motorcycle.
Designed by Daniel Simon, who's design resume is truly impressed this Lotus C-01 is crafted in carbon fiber, titanium and aerospace quality steel. Limited to a production run of 100 this V-style 2-cylinder 4 stroke engine puts out 200HP with a dry weight of 398.2lbs. Though performance figures have yet to be release you can only imagine how fast and fun this motorcycle will be.
Personally, I'm not a huge fan of specifications when it comes to this motorcycle.
Why.
Simple.
Because this Lotus C-01 looks so damn good that right now who cares what the 0-60mph numbers are or its top speed. I just want to sit back and admire how gorgeous this bike is.
I love it's simple clean lines, it has this retro-futuristic styling about it that I can't completely understand but definitely love. The intake duct with its "3D" like style and Lotus logo is an awesome detail, just like the exhaust pipe with its un-assuming design simply beautiful. I also love the handle bars with its integrated side mirrors and finally I love the color schemes. You just can't go wrong with the martini racing livery, naked carbon fiber with gold and Lotus's green and yellow color combo. Simple and yet enough to get you noticed.
