Lotus Definition
Source (google.com.pk)Lotus Engineering can develop the control strategies and electric architecture to manage the total drivetrain and vehicle systems energy and power needs for hybrid and electric vehicles.
We can define the total system requirements, develop software and integrate all hardware elements for managing the electrical energy across vehicle batteries, drive motors, on-board generation and vehicle and comfort systems.
The right energy management approach will not only maximise the efficiency and range of the vehicle but reduce the size of batteries and ensure the functionality and performance of the vehicle is fully optimised.
We have proven experience in designing, controlling, integrating and building whole EV and HEV energy management systems. Our software algorithms are developed in-house, as is our control hardware which is available for use in prototype and low volume applications.
For concept and prototype development, we make use of a full driveline testing capability using hardware-in-the-loop.
We develop system specifications and define concept approaches and develop complete prototypes including prototype battery builds.
What better way to demonstrate Lotus’ superior ride and handling than by re-entering the adrenaline filled Rally Championships? Showcasing the new Exige S’ phenomenal performance, the Exige R-GT will participate in the newly formed FIA GT category of the FIA Rally Championship on asphalt in Monte Carlo, Tour de Corse and San Remo.
For Group Lotus’ Director of Motorsport Claudio Berro the return to rally has an extra special meaning; “My motorsport career started in rally, in fact, I even took part in the Talbot Sunbeam Lotus’ Italian Rally championship winning a race in San Marino back in 1981 so this is a very nostalgic moment for me. As we unveiled the car in Frankfurt, alongside the original championship winning car, I had the chance to get back inside and the smell was exactly the same – it brought back many happy memories for me.
"With the new R-GT rules in rally, it’s a very interesting time for us to return to the sport. Naturally our approach this time around will be different to when we won the championship with Talbot three decades ago but I think our philosophy is definitely the same, we want to compete and ultimately we want to win. Our new rally car, the Exige R-GT is a dream come true for those who are passionate about GT racing – this will be their car."
The beauty of the Exige R-GT is that although it’s a professionally set up race car, you don’t need to be a pro to drive it – the race car has been developed alongside the road car allowing the technical team to create the perfect race machine, high performance but without losing the sense of fun to drive and ease of use. Developing the race version of the Exige in parallel with the road car has allowed the Lotus technicians to make rapid advances in terms of safety and reliability.
Claudio Berro commented: “We have learnt a great deal from working with the Evora and creating various race derivatives over the past 18 months particularly how best to adapt a road car for the track and competitive racing. We were able to put this learning to good use with the Exige project. In my mind rally is probably the ultimate motorsport, it combines the excitement of track racing with the specialist skills needed for road racing – we really believe it’s one of the best and most straight forward ways to demonstrate the capabilities of our products.”
Powered by the same V6 3.5 litre engine as the new road Exige, significant changes have been made to the gearbox and the restrictors on the engine in order to control the power. Lotus will initially partner with several customer teams following the tried and tested method in which Lotus entered IndyCar and returned to Le Mans.
The new R-GT rally category is the perfect opportunity for us to show the performance of the very exciting and truly unique 2012 Lotus Exige.
