Recycled glazing aerodynamically flows from the nose up and around to the wrap-over doors and rear body, baring everything from passengers, driver mechanics and air ducts to onlookers. Next-gen laser wire lighting drastically reduces component size and weight, bending wire less than a millimeter in diameter into a dynamic design at the front as well.</p><p><img decoding=async class="size-full wp-image-1089766 lazyload" src=data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 alt="esprit-inspired lotus theory 1 conceptualizes robotic skin 3-seater supercar" width=818 height=545 data-src=https://static.designboom.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/lotus-theory-1-concept-car-design-manifesto-designboom04.jpg data-srcset="https://static.designboom.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/lotus-theory-1-concept-car-design-manifesto-designboom04.jpg 818w, https://static.designboom.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/lotus-theory-1-concept-car-design-manifesto-designboom04-768x512.jpg 768w" data-sizes=auto loading=lazy><br>the technology band, inspired by the purely functional black joining band of the Esprit, uses OLEDs to communicate to the driver, passengers, other road users</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The only interruption to the body surfacing is the technology band, running from the wheel arches and reappearing at the rear.

Containing 360-degree autonomous driving hardware from LiDARs to cameras and radars, the Nvidia-powered line uses OLEDs as a communication tool for the driver, passengers, other road users and pedestrians.

This concept car, made from cellulose-based glass fiber, recycled carbon fiber, titanium and only seven other materials, showcases Lotus’ commitment to lightweight construction—a hallmark of the brand’s history. The color, material and finish team redefines luxury by stripping away excess, even using colored materials like gold recycled aluminum to evoke the iconic JPS Formula 1 car.</p><p><img decoding=async class="size-full wp-image-1089780 lazyload" src=data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 alt="esprit-inspired lotus theory 1 conceptualizes robotic skin 3-seater supercar" width=818 height=460 data-src=https://static.designboom.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/lotus-theory-1-concept-car-design-manifesto-designboom10.jpg data-srcset="https://static.designboom.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/lotus-theory-1-concept-car-design-manifesto-designboom10.jpg 818w, https://static.designboom.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/lotus-theory-1-concept-car-design-manifesto-designboom10-768x432.jpg 768w" data-sizes=auto loading=lazy><br>3D-printed lattice headrests maximize comfort, reduce weight, and deliver personalized soundscapes or noise cancellations</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Lotus Theory 1 further honors its motorsport heritage with advanced aerodynamics and engineering inspired by the Lotus 49 Formula 1 car.
