We had a great time this weekend at Garage Club, when we took a unique look into a collection of Lotus performance cars. These cars embody the philosophy of "Simplify, then add lightness" championed by Colin Chapman throughout all the Lotus-designed road and race cars.

By fully embracing the philosophy of the founder, Lotus continues to be true to its brand as a pure driver’s car. Innovative engineering, cutting-edge technologies, and advanced materials have directly contributed to every Lotus, since 1948, in achieving performance through lightweight. Reducing mass remains the most effective means of achieving a material connection between the driver, the car, and the road – a quality increasingly rare with modern sportscars.

“Adding power makes you faster on the
straights, subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere.”

- Colin Chapman

It was an excellent opportunity to see a unique brand of cars that are dedicated to both the driver and performance. Although not necessarily “rare", Lotus cars are seen less frequently than they deserve to be considering their significant history… and exceptional driving experience.
