Tires on Lotus (Лотус)

The British brand is well-known to many racing enthusiasts. It was founded in 1952 by one of the engineers working on the creation of cars for "Formula 1" - Colin Chapman. At the stages of its formation, the company changed several owners, but always retained its sports focus. Currently, the brand belongs to Geely Group, and its main activity is sports electric cars.

A Little History

Chapman was engaged in the development of sports cars for many years. At the initial stage, it was just a hobby. But when he managed to convert the Austin Seven, he realized that for further development, factory capacities would be required. To this end, in 1952, he founded Lotus Engineering. The first creation was the Lotus Mark III - a car with a tubular frame, which was assembled by enthusiasts. With the appearance of clients who were interested in fast cars, production expanded. The result was the release of the Lotus Seven - a real breakthrough at the time. This car became a kind of "visiting card" of the company. Then came the Lotus Elite model, with a speed limit of 200 km/h, as well as the Lotus-12 - a car for the "Formula 1" races. In parallel with the sports direction, the company actively released models for urban use. Moreover, a number of technologies from sports cars were transferred to "public" cars. The key feature of all of them was a fiberglass body, which, in terms of its strength, had a small weight. This allowed Lotus cars, with small engine volumes, to achieve record speed indicators. A significant achievement and world recognition was the Lotus-25 model, which brought the developer several victories in "F1". This happened in 1963-65. Further development, despite numerous successful models, was already associated with new owners. So, in 1986, the company's owner became the American "General Motors". It is noteworthy that they did not intend to invest significant funds in the new acquisition, focusing on the production of already existing models. Such an approach not only did not strengthen Lotus' position but also led to a resale after 7 years to the general director of Bugatti. During this period, work was carried out to improve the Espirit model. But, not achieving the desired results, the company changed its owner again - it became the Malaysian company "Proton". Under the new leadership, the manufacturer felt "ground under their feet". This contributed to the updating of the model range and the return to the production of some previously successful cars. Moreover, against the background of cooperation with the Japanese Toyota, which supplied power units, the volume of cars produced increased significantly.

Current Affairs

Starting from 2017, the new owner of the company became the Chinese concern Geely, which made a lot of effort to improve the brand's position. Despite the fact that Lotus is a relatively rare car and you won't often find them on the roads of the Russian Federation, there are those for whom this brand is a combination of style, sportsmanship, and aesthetics. It is for them that the "Mosavtoshina" store offers tires and wheels for most Lotus models.
