The End of Esprit's Revival Dreams: A Forever Farewell

In Memoriam - In the realm of automotive nostalgia, few cars have left an enduring mark like the Lotus Esprit. Even after production ceased on February 4, 2004, the allure of this iconic sports car lingered in the hearts of enthusiasts. Recognizing this, Lotus Cars, under the leadership of CEO Danny Bahar, contemplated a revival of the beloved Esprit.

In 2006, Lotus Cars aimed to resurrect its iconic sports car, the Lotus Esprit. (Picture from: CarAndDriver)

The rebirth of the Lotus Esprit took flight in 2006, unfolding a grand scheme to commence production by late 2013 and initiate sales in the spring of 2014, with an estimated starting price of around £103,000 / $175,000. Tasked with the challenge, a team of designers led by Russell Carr, embarked on crafting a new design for this legendary sports car.

The redesigned Lotus Esprit boasted dimensions of 4,550 mm in length, 1,950 mm in width, and 1,250 mm in height, with a declared gross weight of approximately 1,495 kg. (Picture from: TopGear)

In a significant turn of events, the revamped Esprit made its debut at the 2010 Paris Motor Show under Donato Coco's tenure as design chief. The unveiling marked a moment of eager anticipation, as the Esprit stood out as the flagship model among four other concept cars – the Elan, Elite, Elise, and Eterne.

The redesigned Lotus Esprit boasted dimensions of 4,550 mm in length, 1,950 mm in width, and 1,250 mm in height, with a declared gross weight of approximately 1,495 kg. Aligning with Lotus' ethos of "performance through lightweight," the Esprit exuded an aggressive design, characterized by low, wide proportions and bold lines that accentuated its sleek body. Notable features included a futuristic front-end with LED daytime running lights and a distinctive diamond-shaped dual exhaust system at the rear.

Powering the new-design Esprit was a robust 5.0-liter Lexus V8 engine, capable of delivering a staggering 612 hp through a 7-speed dual-clutch transaxle. The performance figures were equally impressive, with a 0-100 km/h time of 3.5 seconds, a top speed reaching 330 km/h, and CO2 emissions capped at 250 g/km. An optional hybrid system, equipped with KERS, was also in the cards.

Regrettably, on September 29, 2014, the British automaker made the tough decision to cancel the Esprit revival project, citing a strategic shift towards continuing the production of lightweight and nimble cars. Financial considerations played a pivotal role in this decision. Despite this setback, discussions about the potential revival of the Lotus Esprit persisted in automotive circles until 2020.

Under new ownership, Lotus Cars has demonstrated a steadfast commitment to forging ahead into the future, prioritizing environmentally friendly solutions. Models like the Lotus Evija, Eletre, Emeya, and others embody this forward-looking approach. Consequently, automotive enthusiasts are faced with the inevitable closure of the Lotus Esprit chapter, as the brand sets its sights on a new era of innovation and sustainability. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | LOTUSCARS | CARBODYDESIGN | CARANDDRIVER | TOPGEAR | DRIVE | WIKIPEDIA ]

Innovative Icons: Formula 1's Diverse Cars during the 1970s to 1980s

Weird ONES - In the rich tapestry of Formula 1 history, the current regulations confine the sport within stringent boundaries, leaving little room for the groundbreaking innovation that defined its early years. Some of the most eccentric Formula 1 car designs hail from the 1970s and early 1980s.

Let's embark on a journey down memory lane to explore some of the most unconventional creations that once graced the tracks.

1. March 711

The March 711, a peculiar-looking vehicle designed by Robin Herd and Geoff Ferris for the 1971 season, continued its presence throughout 1972. With a front wing resembling either a tea tray or surfboard, it may have raised eyebrows for its unconventional aesthetics.

However, despite its peculiar appearance, the car showcased impressive speed, propelling Ronnie Peterson to five podium finishes and a second-place standing in the 1971 drivers' standings.

2. Eifelland Type 21

The Eifelland Type 21 of 1972 was one of the strangest-looking cars ever to compete in Formula 1. The project was funded by the German Eifelland caravan company, at the behest of its boss Günther Henerici, a racing enthusiast. Eifelland had previously sponsored the promising German driver Rolf Stommelen in Junior Formulae and had decided to enter Formula 1 with their driver.

The 1972 Eiflland Type 21 featured an unusual single rearview mirror positioned directly in front of the driver. (Picture from: Story-Cars)

The Type 21 F1 racer was a March 721 chassis number four. All resemblance to the factory Marches was lost when Eifelland designer Luigi Colani penned the extraordinary bodywork for the new car. Colani was an unusual designer, believing that every surface should be curved. The racing car featured an unusual single rearview mirror positioned directly in front of the driver—a design choice that likely didn't contribute to enhanced visibility.

3. Ligier JS5

When talking about the ugliest F1 car in history, the Ligier JS5 is definitely in the top nomination. The Ligier JS5 is very famous among F1 fans because the shape of the car is really very strange, because it has an airbox that has a very unreasonable shape.

This JS5 was Ligier's debut F1 racer took to the tracks in 1976 with a distinctive, oversized air intake that gave it an uncanny resemblance to a teapot. Although it might have seemed like the creation of a cartoonist, Jacques Laffite managed to secure three podium finishes while piloting this peculiar machine.

4. Tyrrell P34

The Tyrrell P34 is undoubtedly one of the most eccentric F1 cars ever conceived, designed by Derek Gardner, Tyrrell's chief designer. Sporting six wheels—four small ones at the front and two large ones at the back—this design aimed to reduce drag and increase the overall contact patch of the front tires.

Despite its unorthodox appearance, the P34 proved successful, competing in 30 races in 1976 and 1977, achieving one victory and 13 podiums. However, the team faced challenges in further developing the design, leading to its abandonment in 1978.

5. Brabham BT46B

Gordon Murray's 'fan car,' the Brabham BT46B, caused quite a stir when it made its debut at the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix. Developed in response to challenges recreating the ground effect of the Lotus 79'.

It was modified version of the BT46 featured with a masive fan to cool the engine and generate substantial downforce. Despite controversy and subsequent banning, Niki Lauda's victory in the race remained.

6. Ensign N179

The Ensign N179, designed by Dave Baldwin, was utilized by Ensign F1 Racing Team during the 1979 Formula One season. Featuring a bizarre 'step-ladder' front end and a new system of front radiators, the N179 aimed to cool the engine and enhance underside downforce.

However, issues with engine cooling led to excessive heat in the cockpit, and despite its peculiar aesthetics, the design quickly fell out of favor.

7. Williams FW07D

In 1981, both Ferrari and Williams experimented with six-wheeled cars. The Williams FW07D, tested by Alan Jones at Donington Park, featured four driven rear wheels and two non-driven front wheels. This design transitioned to the FW08B, maintaining six wheels. However, both cars never saw competitive action as the FIA promptly banned six-wheeled vehicles.

These unique and unconventional Formula 1 creations not only pushed the boundaries of design but also added an element of excitement and surprise to the sport's history. While many of these designs were short-lived, they remain indelible in the memories of racing enthusiasts as testaments to the quest for innovation in the world of Formula 1. *** [EKA [04032016] | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | STORY-CARS | WIKIPEDIA | MOTORBISCUIT | SNAPLAP | MEDIUM ]

Timeless Elegance: Chevy's Astro I Experimental Car of 1967

ONE-OFF - In tracing the captivating journey of the 1967 Chevrolet Astro I Experimental, we uncover a pivotal moment in automotive history. While many perceive vehicle development as a straightforward process, the Astro I defied conventions, pushing the boundaries of design and aerodynamics. Now, let's delve into the details of this iconic concept car that not only turned heads at the 1967 New York Auto Show but also marked a significant chapter in Chevrolet's pursuit of automotive innovation.

Crafted under the visionary direction of GM design lead Bill Mitchell and designed by Larry Shinoda, the Astro I aimed to explore the visual possibilities of aerodynamic characteristics in automobiles. This experimental model significantly pushed the boundaries, showcasing the seamless integration of aesthetics and aerodynamics. At first glance, the silhouette closely mirrors that of the Fiat Abarth 2000 Scorpione Concept crafted by Pininfarina in 1969.

Building upon GM's earlier ventures with aerodynamics—the Corvair Monza GT and roofless Corvair Monza SS—the Astro I featured a striking exterior. Boasting a mere height of 35.5 inches, the vehicle sported a distinctive pop-up canopy section instead of conventional doors, facilitating easy entry. The unconventional design, although not the most practical, captivated spectators at auto shows in the late 1960s.

The interior of the Astro I was equally avant-garde. The seats elevated with the canopy, allowing occupants to ascend into them and descend into the vehicle as the clamshell section closed. This innovative approach to entry and seating added to the overall allure of the concept, even if it wasn't the most pragmatic solution.

Under the hood, the Astro I Experimental featured a unique single overhead camshaft version of Chevy's Turbo-Air 6 boxer engine. With an increased bore and stroke, the engine reached 2.9 liters, generating an impressive 240 horsepower at 7,400 rpm—outperforming its counterparts in the Monza GT and Monza SS.

However, there is some debate regarding whether this engine ever made it into the Astro I, with suggestions that it was confined to a test car, and the showcased model retained a standard Corvair boxer motor.

The Chevrolet Astro I Experimental also featured with a unique periscope rearview mirror on the roof provided a wide-angle view. (Picture from: GMAuthority)

Despite its groundbreaking design and performance, Chevrolet eventually abandoned the idea of producing a sports car based on the Corvair platform. Instead, the company redirected its sporting resources toward the development of the iconic Corvette and Camaro models.

Today, the Astro I Experimental resides in the GM Heritage Center, standing as a remarkable artifact alongside the Corvair Monza GT and Monza SS. This evolution in design thinking reflects a pivotal moment in automotive history when bold experimentation paved the way for the future of high-performance vehicles. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | GMAUTHORITY | HEMMINGS | CONCEPTCARZ ]

Uniquely, the Nike ONE 2022 debuted at the Gran Turismo 4 video game. Perhaps the reason for its relatively low media coverage lies in its fictional nature, but make no mistake, the attention to detail in the Nike ONE 2022 is nothing short of remarkable.

For nocturnal journeys, the Nike ONE 2022 features a pair of LED/HID lights, stacked to follow the driver's head movements and illuminate the road up to 150 feet ahead.

In essence, the Nike ONE 2022 transcends its origins as a concept drawing, evolving into a sophisticated creation within the realm of a video game. The design is nothing short of extraordinary, beckoning for realization in the physical realm. All that remains is for a visionary soul to dare to undertake this ambitious project. The Nike ONE 2022 stands as a testament to innovation, pushing the boundaries of what is conceivable in the automotive world. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | PHIL FRANK | GTPLANET | KEEPDRIVING | FANDOM ]
