DAV1D Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 I've posted some more leaked images on my website: http://www.i-piston.com/lotus-e21-leaked-ahead-of-launch/ Interesting to see it still has a stepped nose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NedaSay Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) live unveil now! In the dark... # I'm sexy and I know it - Just below the main air intake on the side of the engine cover!! They are keeping the ugly nose! For now?! I expected the Burn sponsorship to be more prominent on the car! They are obviously expecting more sponsorship to be signed and featured on the car soon. They stole CNBC sponsorship from Marussia F1. Lopez, Bouillier, Allison, Grosjean and Raikkonen interviewed. I did not spot anyone from Group Lotus and/or from DRB hicom/Proton! Nice to see they're keeping the name at least! LIVE right now! http://www.4lot.us/F1-YouTube This team is probably banking like mad on that name. Right now coming up with a new brand in F1 anything but easy! Some people said that they salvaged the Lotus brand in F1. I'm tempted to say that it is the Lotus F1 Brand that did salvaged this team! Some will say that the deal is probably mutually beneficial and I guess it could be. Edited January 28, 2013 by NedaSay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAV1D Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Got some more renderings of the E21 here: http://www.i-piston.com/2013-lotus-e21-launched/ It's very similar to last years car but I imagine it will change alot between now and Australia.

Stirling_Villeneuve Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 It looks pretty good to me but I thought those fugly noses were outlawed this year?

Vulcan Grey Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 It looks pretty good to me but I thought those fugly noses were outlawed this year? Not outlawed, from what I have read the Bernie (also FIA) wanted the cars to look better, but they still had the structural rule for crash safety... So the teams would be "allowed" to cover up the step nose with a "cosmetic panel" if they chose. Quote Travis Vulcan Grey 89SE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exploded Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) I still hate those ugly noses, but the rest of the car looks ace, although it looks indeed very similar to last year's car imo.

The Real Stig Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 So far (look at Ferrari, McLaren and Force India) Lotus Renault is the only car with a nose-bump. Does it say anything about recycling 2012-designs? I know, they have mentioned low weight as an excuse for keeping the bump. Let's just hop they are forced to a mid season re-design. This is an expensive part to re-engineer due to crash test demands.

Stirling_Villeneuve Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Sauber's with the rest of the pack too, so far it's just Lotus with a dodgy nose...
