The Lotus T125, also known as the Lotus Exos, is a Formula One-shaped single seater open-wheel sports car produced by Lotus Cars. Lotus planned on producing 25 units, but only 10 have been produced. [1] The T125 appeared on Top Gear in July 2011, driven by Jeremy Clarkson. The T125 is also known as the Exos, which is a reference to the exosphere.
The project was a failure, with only a few cars built and delivered. The project was sold to a New Zealand–based company called Rodin Cars. Rodin Cars took the T125 and claims to have improved it.
A T125 was donated to the non profit Genius Garage in October 2021. Genius Garage helps young people get hands on experience with real life engineering projects to help them get a job in the engineering industry. [2]
