Pandemonium has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
At least they have a decent page... It is looking very proper.

please enlighten me!.......do you mean Prodrive might buy the project and re-brand as an Aston Martin project?.......or Prodrive perhaps just did a bit of engineering consulting work for Kolles?.......looks like Kolles has dropped this project like a hot-potato as they now have an F1 project to deal with.......I can imagine AER are gutted, but at least it gets them a step closer to being back in LMP1.......perhaps another watch maker could buy the project!......personally I think they would do better to remove the Lotus branding, everyone knows it has absolutley nothing to do with the car company or its history, other than just some money changing hands for brand exposure.

well this car is not a lotus for real (adess monocoque + AER engine), so what's the problem if prodrive wants to rebadge as AMR in future?
Maybe next year the vantage will run only in gt-am and prodrive will use this car in lmp1-L against rebellion entering as AMR official team. It would be a great scenario: more lmp1 in field and another historic manufacturer involved in lmp1.

You would think that AMR has learned it's lesson the last time they entered a LMP1...

Btw: where did the LMP2 cars go???

Im very sorry, my early comment was not aimed at anyone in particular. It just feels to me that often the team is the subject to alot of jokes. Granted some of them are understandable but the teams worked hard to try and improve the car and has stuck around in the LMP1 class when they had no competition. (works teams aside)

I agree with you on that. They're the punching bag but they have stuck around for all this time and they are back again with arguably the best engine in the lmp1 class aside from the Toyota.

There was a Prodrive logo visible on the teaser image, but it appears to have vanished.

Adess is not involved anymore. Great looking car from the front. Still want to see it running, especially with rumours of Kolles moving along to the F1 program. Really hope they make it for Rebellion's sake.

Finally, here it is. I had already abandoned the thought of ever seeing this car, but here it is, and it's stunning!
Hope to see it running soon

Does Lotus count as car "manufacturer", can they compete in non-hybrid class?

I think it is just Kolles' team using the Lotus name. Lotus as a manufacturer isn't involved in the project.

Had Lotus come out from financial struggle and get involve on this project other than Formula One, it would boost their chances of success.

But nope, I think it's a dud in Le Mans and beyond.

Here is the car. It exists!

Too bad it wasn't finished in time to run at Le Mans, but hopefully we'll see it at Austin.

I don't really understand the problem with a Lotus badge here . Lotus is the title sponsor of the team, that's all. Just as you can call the F1 team at Enstone Benetton, Renault, Lotus or Genii Racing or even Venezuela Racing if you like.
The good thing is, Kolles do pull all these together. Kudos for everyone at Kodewa!The reason I'm so excited is that this is, ultimately not a bubble and I'm impressed by Kolles ' love for sportscar. As I was so excited about the WTCC Onyx project, but it turned out to be a fantasy, which hurted me.

Without his customer R10, Oliver Jarvis, Marcel Fassler and Andre Lotterer might never get the seat of a LMP1.

and lesson is? maybe they are not good enough to make engines? well no surprise at all, their road and race V8 and V12 engines are '90 ford projected units, while in future will be used AMG units.
