    In an official press release, Lotus has announced a collaboration with Williams Advanced Engineering to develop and research “advanced propulsion technologies”.

    At this stage it is expected that Williams will contribute its technical know-how gleaned from supplying battery systems to the Formula E grid since 2014.

    Lotus will be leading the development of the hypercar itself to make sure it meets the standard of their structural lightness while Williams will focus on the EV powertrain necessary to give it an expected four-figure power output.

    Lotus Cars CEO Phil Popham said: “Our new technology partnership with Williams Advanced Engineering is part of a strategy to expand our knowledge and capability in the rapidly changing automotive landscape. Applying advanced propulsion powertrains can provide numerous exciting solutions across multiple vehicle sectors. 

    “Our combined and complementary experiences make this a very compelling match of engineering talent, technical ability and pioneering British spirit.”

    Not much else is known about the hypercar codenamed ‘Omega’ or what else the two companies are working on together but we can be sure that it will be light and very fast.

    • It is big, luxurious, comfortable and radically fast. It will devour long stretches of tarmac and not exhaust you but most importantly, the Continental GT Speed is a Bentley that is very much ready and willing to play when the mood hits you. It is quite possibly the ultimate modern GT.

    • We have done countless launch control starts in countless cars but this has to be one of the biggest surprises so far. It's not the fastest we have tested but the way it gets 2.2 tons off the line is something to experience. Get the British brute on some grippy tarmac and you will be blown away!

0 to 100 km/h is claimed to be 3.6s and that claim is accurate!
