Lotus Cars is a British manufacturer of sports and racing cars based at the former site of RAF Hethel, a World War II airfield in Norfolk. The company designs and builds race and production automobiles of light weight and fine handling characteristics.

Lotus is owned by Proton who took over after the bankruptcy of former owner Romano Artioli in 1994.

The company was formed as Lotus Engineering Ltd. by engineer Colin Chapman, a graduate of University College, London, in 1952. The first factory was in old stables behind the Railway Hotel in Hornsey, North London. Team Lotus, which was split off from Lotus Engineering in 1954, was active and competitive in Formula One racing from 1958 to 1994. The Lotus Group of Companies was formed in 1959. This was made up of Lotus Cars Limited and Lotus Components Limited which focused on road cars and customer competition car production respectively. Lotus Components Limited became Lotus Racing Limited in 1971 but the newly renamed entity ceased operation in the same year.
The company moved to a purpose built factory at Cheshunt in 1959 and since 1966 the company has occupied a modern factory and road test facility at Hethel, near Wymondham. This site is the former RAF Hethel base and the test track uses sections of the old runway.

Chapman died of a heart attack in 1982 at the age of 54, having begun life an innkeeper's son and ended a multi-millionaire industrialist in post-war Britain. The car maker built tens of thousands of successful racing and road cars and won the Formula One World Championship seven times. At the time of his death he was linked with the DeLorean scandal over the use of government subsidies for the production of the DeLorean DMC-12 for which Lotus had designed the chassis.

In 1986, the company was bought by General Motors. On 27 August 1993, GM sold the company, for £30 million, to A.C.B.N. Holdings S.A. of Luxembourg, a company controlled by Italian businessman Romano Artioli, who also owned Bugatti Automobili SpA. In 1996, a majority share in Lotus was sold to Perusahaan Otomobil Nasional Bhd (Proton), a Malaysian car company listed on the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange.

The company also acts as an engineering consultancy, providing engineering development—particularly of suspension—for other car manufacturers. The lesser known Powertrain department is responsible for the design and development of the 4-cylinder Ecotec engine found in many of GM's Vauxhall, Opel, Saab, Chevrolet and Saturn cars. Today, the current Lotus Elise and Exige models use the 1.8L VVTL-i I4 from Toyota's late Celica GT-S and the Matrix XRS.

The company is organised as Group Lotus, which is divided into Lotus Cars and Lotus Engineering.

Michael Kimberley took over as Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Company and its Group from May 2006. He currently chairs the Executive Committee of Lotus Group International Limited ("LGIL") established in February 2006, with Syed Zainal Abidin (Managing Director of Proton Holdings Berhad) and Badrul Feisal (non-executive director of Proton Holdings Berhad). LGIL is the holding company of Lotus Group Plc.

Kimberley retired as CEO on 17 July 2009 and was replaced as CEO by Dany T Bahar on 1 October 2009. Bahar was formerly Senior Vice President, Commercial & Brand for Ferrari SpA where he was responsible for worldwide road car sales and after sales business, overall road car and F1 marketing activities, licensing, and merchandising business.

The four letters in the middle of the logo stand for the initials of Anthony Colin Bruce Chapman.

2012 SSC Ultimate Aero II

The battle for the title of "world's fastest production car" just hot - again. And this time around its two classic David vs. Goliath encounter: the diminutive Shelby Super Cars acquires the power of VW-owned Bugatti. American solo exhibition SSC, made the world take them seriously after the original Ultimate Aero snatched the title from the Veyron with the launch of 256mph, recorded on a four-mile Texas with one-way traffic, which showed dogleg bend, you need to navigate to the "just" 210mph. The man behind the wheel was 71 years old Chuck Bigelow, who had no racing experience and even refused to wear a protective helmet.

Pushing back, Veyron Super Sport came to the ultra-modern, ultra-smooth and wide Ehra VW test track in Lessien, with a professional driver at the wheel, and a crowd of engineers at their disposal. The result was a spectacular 267mph on the special edition of the 1200HP.

Considering all that Bugatti have at their disposal, compared with Jerod Shelby and his team of 16 engineers - who work from a garage behind his house - you begin to understand the magnitude of their achievement. Now, they presented their new creations, 1350HP RWD beast is not yet an official name. For convenience, we shall simply call Aero II.

UPDATE 07/14/2011: Reports that the SSC is in the final stages of implementing their new supercar after the legendary Ultimate Aero, once considered the fastest car on the planet.

Although there was no evidence that the car will have a name - the word is that the SSC is preparing to tease him in front of her debut 2013 - Many people go out and dubbed it as "Ultimate Aero II '.

2012 SSC Ultimate Aero II 

Exterior Design

Outgoing Ultimate Aero was very general in its appearance. The body, like the rest of the car was designed by company owner Jerod Shelby (no relation to the muscle car legend Carroll Shelby). He recognizes that the need for slippery aerodynamics governed by the final product and being an engineer by profession, the design was not his forte. Enter the American Italian designer Jason Castriota, who at the beginning, reservations about taking on the project. We can not blame him after looking at his impressive resume. He wrote the car for the best in the industry: Ferrari, Pininfarina, Rolls Royce, and Bertone, to name just a few of them. The last thing that his career had to design a car designed for failure for a small company with more hope than money or brains. After visiting the facility and familiarity with the staff and more importantly, their ideals and the car, he took the plunge and created what you see before you.

The result is stunning, especially when you clear the body of work to identify how technically difficult it was to overcome the terrible forces of nature at 200 miles / h +, while packing the necessary mechanical components. It is a great example as a function of assembly to create a harmonious whole. We like black tears form a canopy, which is located at the top of the white exterior, creating a stunning contrast of strength and beauty. The form of the classical and fundamental, and has very low resistance rate. The car has a dihedral wings or stabilizers, which have been borrowed from the aviation field. The term "flying support" could be interpreted as being a bit naughty, but they are actually wings, which help maintain the structure of the vehicle. In this case, they are bits on the side of the SSC Aero II, which feed air to the engine intake - Castriota signature design.

The front looks scary and focused with his low-slung nose and headlights carbon fiber. Looking carefully, you will notice ventilation to carbon brakes and a cohesive front splitter, which generates enough downforce to keep the nose planted at high speed. There is no hood or trunk, or any compromises with this car. Side profile sleek and sexy - there are no door handles or side repeaters, and the car barely worth more than a meter tall. Massive lower house of deepening inlets in the front of the rear wheel arches and feed the hungry and the engine cooling radiator with a much needed cool air, while its contribution to balance the look. It checks all the boxes hypercar and much more. Elements of the first Aero is supported, first of all party piece of the door and spoke wheel design simple. Last first ever one piece carbon fiber wheel ever installed on a car. They are products of an Australian company, Carbon Revolution, and 19 "fronts weigh just 5.8kg each.

The whole body and chassis, with the exception of the front and rear zones of influence, all made of carbon fiber - further emphasizing the lightness in your keywords. It is not necessary for maximum speed, but more for everyday driving and handling. All mid-engined cars require holes in the back to help get rid of heat - they usually take the form of slats or louvers, but since this car is nothing, but it has a circular cut outs in different diameters to expel heat and a pub debate. Moving to the other behind, the dynamics take over, with the aesthetics of playing second fiddle. Total underneath the car is sealed, leading to the rear, which functions as the mother of all cones, complete with F1-style exhaust. From this point of view, it bears little resemblance to the R8 and small, we mean small - proportion and shape are similar. Between the rear stabilizers, hydraulic brake air - a la Bugatti Veyron and Merc SLR, which comes into play at a higher than permitted speeds. Measurement of the wise, Aero II slightly narrower than before to follow the rules FIA GT, if they decide a race.

Interior

 The interior remains a mystery - probably because it is not 100% finished - but we can guess about what to expect. There will be room for two with all the creature comforts, like seat belts and air conditioning. We would not bet on heated and electric massage seats just yet. Judging by the old model, whose interior was rather casually, the interior of the new car should be better and get the basics right. We believe that the design will be based on a large screen LCD and a central quality of finish is better - after all, this car is really worth a drop of less than $ 1 million.

Performance

 You really need to ask? The figures on paper are striking enough - even before getting to the actual time of work and statistics. Invited to record powered by a four-camera, a twin-turbo V8 displacing 6.8 liters. The engine, like all other mechanical parts, which are all developed in house SSC itself. Many new shares power with the old 6.2-liter point - the block and the interior is the same design, so are the size and location of its 10 radiators. Changes come in the form of four valves per cylinder overhead cam (OHC) installed, and do not push the bar and the new specifications SSC turbochargers. New plants that are good for 1350HP and tremendous speed at 9000RPM! From zero to 62mph arrives in about 2.8 seconds and a top speed of SSC claim, wait for it, 275mph! Figures gear acceleration is not known yet, but you can be assured that they will be absolutely mind blowing. Thank God, the new car will include traction control, ABS with servo assist, and Brembo carbon-ceramic stoppers. We can not even imagine that kind of power to allow freely on public roads without fear of being arrested by the long arm of the law, feeling of acceleration, will rip your face. This thing should sound as it goes - all the turbo whistle and growl, angry V8.

Because it is RWD, not 4WD, as our friend Veyron, it's easier ... much easier. Aero II weighs 1200kgs, 638kgs total is easier than the relatively chubby Bugatti - and it produces more power. You do not need to be a rocket scientist to realize that the power to weight ratio is more than a ton 1000HP, placing it in league Caparo T1. Where Bugatti is a luxurious, refined, and civilized, to move, Aero II is a raucous, relentless, and about as scary as getting shave from Edward Scissorhands.

Suspension is the same setup coilover and so does the triple carbon clutch plates. Whether it goes so well round corners in direct remains to be seen. One thing is certain, though, it will create pants on fire every time you use the pedal on the right.

Competition

 In short, there is no other competition, except for the Veyron SS, and it costs $ 2.4 million, more than twice as much as $ 970 000 Aero II. You can also buy Agera Koenigsegg, but the price is unconfirmed, and therefore the maximum speed. Cars must be closely linked, but we think it depends on personal preference and if you are on the whole "mine more than yours" thing. Hopefully, the Aero II will not squeak, rattle or fall apart like so many other cars made by small firms in small quantities. The first cars will be delivered to their proud new owners around the last quarter of 2011.

Only time will tell whether the SSC will bring the top speed crown back to the U.S..
