Thanks to Geely, Lotus is embarking on an exciting new chapter in its history and is not only developing its all-electric Evija hypercar but will also co-develop a sports car with Alpine and is working on a new model known as the ‘Type 131.’

Keen to imagine what a second hypercar from Lotus could look like, Dutch designer Sabino Leerentveld has created this striking concept. While it looks unlike any current Lotus model, it would no doubt turn heads on the road if it were to ever see the light of day.

The front of the Lotus concept features a pair of simple LED headlights and has two large air intakes on either side of the bumper. Interestingly, it lacks a traditional front grille. Adding to the head-turning design of the front fascia are dozens of small cutouts on the wheel arches, as well as the exposed inboard suspension. Another intriguing aspect of the vehicle is how the windshield stretches behind the front axle, inevitably giving the car excellent forward visibility.

Quite often, cars look good from the front or good from the rear but rarely look the part from both the front and the rear. This Lotus concept isn’t like that as the design of its rear end complements the front perfectly, thanks to its curvaceous lines, hydraulically-operated rear wing, and the massive diffuser. It’s clearly been designed with aerodynamics in mind but manages to still look good.
