The Lotus T125, also known as the Lotus Exos, is a single seater 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 took the T125 and improved upon it, adding its own components such as a new titanium exhaust, titanium steering wheel and composite seats. It has been renamed as the Rodin FZED and is priced at $650,000.
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]
