Lotus Sirius: a new face in 2009


Lotus is known in the world of tuning to be one of the most “angry” that in the 80s, an age of a real explosion of interest in this area, are competing for the best of all with companies such as Koenig Specials, RS -tuning, Gumballs, Herman. Lutes, in particular, created with the car at the edge of the image as the TT1000 on a Ferrari Testcross (12-cylinder, turbo 1000 Hp 2) or C1000 (12-cylinder Mercedes, 2 turbo, 900 hp and performance spaceship). It also recalls a subtle upgrade kit for the Porsche 993 Carrera. Without changing a single bolt of aesthetics, could fit the engine two turbochargers.

Aesthetically it was impossible to recognize the change. But the traffic lights … The last imperious its creation was the Sirius, who was born in the “far” in 2004, that, we might say, threw the glove of defiance to competition at a time when the concepts of performance released by the Beatty Verona was still subject to - motoring. But now is the Sirius Model Year 2009 to arouse interest.

The German super car created in a small engineering laboratory outside Monaco of Bavaria is based chassis is a lattice with central-rear engine 12-cylinder separation, 6-liter turbo 2. Depending on the pressure of the turbo-charged, the maximum power may reach the limit of the 1200 horses and 1320 Nm of torque. The manufacturer said a top speed of over 400 km / h and acceleration really crazy though, obviously, the level of reliability of such a complex object technology is not the same as a large industrial blazon as may be Bugatti. A few years ago, the beast was seen at the show also the Monaco Top Marques Monaco.
