00:00.059 –> 00:03.130
Automotive manufacturer, Lotus announced the
theory one,
00:03.140 –> 00:07.400
a concept car that the company expects to set
the stage for its smart performance vehicles
00:07.559 –> 00:10.529
built on a new design manifesto called the
Lotus theory.
00:10.619 –> 00:14.859
The automaker stated that the theory one will
quote harmoniously fit around the driver and
00:14.869 –> 00:18.559
adapt based on their needs.
Lotus designed the theory one with 10 main a
00:18.569 –> 00:21.729
surface materials including recycled chopped
carbon fiber,
00:21.739 –> 00:23.469
polyester, rubber and aluminum.
00:23.829 –> 00:30.170
The nearly 3500 pound vehicle can accelerate
from 0 to 62 MPH in less than 2.5 seconds and
00:30.180 –> 00:35.310
features a top speed of about 198 MPH.
Other specs include a 70 kilowatt hour battery
00:35.319 –> 00:41.409
capacity and a WLTP combined range of 250 miles.
Lotus incorporated a unique design by making
00:41.419 –> 00:45.889
the car a three seater with the central driving
position and a passenger on each side located
00:45.900 –> 00:48.560
behind the driver.
The automaker also developed its own driver
00:48.569 –> 00:52.722
system called lotus wear.
The system offers five drive tour range,
00:52.731 –> 00:56.222
individual sport and track as well as screens
projections and haptics.
00:56.231 –> 01:00.372
The haptics developed in collaboration with
motor skins involve a soft and lightweight
01:00.381 –> 01:04.461
robotic textile material that communicates with
the driver through inflatable pods on the
01:04.472 –> 01:07.582
seating and steering wheel.
The pods react in real time to provide grip
01:07.592 –> 01:11.652
support and prompts such as pulses on the sides
of the wheel to indicate when the driver should
01:11.662 –> 01:15.811
make a turn additionally, 3d printed lattice
structure headrests made in partnership with
01:15.821 –> 01:20.314
carbon reduce weight, improve material
efficiency and feature a no audio system.
01:20.323 –> 01:23.333
A portion of the driving system is the lotus we
technology line.
01:23.344 –> 01:26.583
A communication device that operates inside and
outside the vehicle.
01:26.594 –> 01:30.994
It includes integrated O led technology that
displays functions of the vehicle status and
01:31.003 –> 01:35.564
detects other cars and pedestrians.
The technology line also features a 360 degree
01:35.573 –> 01:41.484
autonomous driving sensor suite that scans for
obstacles at a radius of up to 656 ft even in
01:41.494 –> 01:45.524
low light or inclement weather to enhance
handling speed and performance lot is
01:45.533 –> 01:49.166
implemented active and passive of aerodynamic
techniques including cooling,
01:49.176 –> 01:53.786
active rear spoiler and passive rear underbody.
Additional features include a nose cone with
01:53.795 –> 01:58.115
diffuser and drag reducing air deflectors.
A contoured underfloor that directs air through
01:58.125 –> 02:02.486
low drag ducts into the cooling system side
pods that isolate turbulent wake from the
02:02.496 –> 02:07.106
attached airflow and a rear wing that ensures
the down force acts directly on the suspension
02:07.115 –> 02:10.365
mounts all the way to the tires.
Lotus stressed that the theory one is not for
02:10.376 –> 02:12.246
sale and is merely a concept car.
02:12.535 –> 02:14.466
I’m Nolan bin.
This is manufacturing now.
