Lotus Group - Luxury Performance Automobiles

Lotus is a renowned British automotive brand founded in 1948 by engineers Colin Chapman and Colin Dare. Initially established as Lotus Engineering Limited, the brand became legendary for its philosophy of lightweight engineering and exceptional handling, dominating Formula 1 and producing iconic sports cars like the Elise and Esprit.

Over the decades, ownership of the brand has changed hands multiple times, from General Motors to Romano Artioli and then to the Malaysian company Proton. In recent years, the brand has undergone a massive transformation under the ownership of Geely. While performance-oriented sports cars continue to be engineered at the historic site in Hethel, England, the brand's pivot toward electric luxury SUVs has seen a significant manufacturing presence established in Wuhan, China.

Today, Lotus Group operates as a global enterprise with a dual focus: maintaining its British heritage in high-performance sports cars while expanding into the global luxury electric vehicle market under the guidance of its Chinese parent company.
