The beautiful Lotus C-01 superbike, designed by Daniel Simon—whose work you’ll know from Tron: Legacy, Oblivion, and Captain America—balances the Lotus form of old with a decidedly modern finish.
Best part? This bike will actually go on sale: the British company plans to produce 100 in partnership with German manufacturer Kodewa. Available in three styles with a 200hp four-stroke engine powering the 400-pound bike. There’s no price just yet, but expect the C-01 to be eye-wateringly expensive.
