About Lotus Engineering

We’re hugely proud of what’s been achieved by Lotus Engineering over the decades.

There have been many hundreds of third-party projects, stretching right back to the mid-1950s when Lotus founder Colin Chapman did his first consultancy work for Formula 1 race team Vanwall.

And while the technologies have advanced and continue to do so, the principles which drive the Lotus Engineering team remain the same – we are focused on leveraging what we’re already developing for Lotus cars, and the quest for innovation through creating new and more efficient technologies.

It all starts with the DNA of a Lotus car. Our engineering excellence has always been expressed through three core competencies – exceptional chassis and vehicle dynamics, a lightweight design, and overall aerodynamic efficiency. Every Lotus must have these, and the experience and expertise of what Lotus Engineering can offer to third-party clients has always been driven by that trio. That won’t change.

Today Lotus Engineering is an internationally recognised consultancy, providing a comprehensive range of technical services to many of the world’s best-known automotive manufacturers and suppliers. But we passionately believe it can be so much more, some of which you see in our ‘Three Pillars’:
