TYPE 97T

TYPE 33

Quite possibly the most beloved livery in F1 history. The car that brought Ayrton Senna his first and most memorable Formula 1 victory. The infamous 1985 Portuguese Grand Prix at Estoril, where he stunned the world with a masterclass in wet-weather driving.

TYPE 97T

TYPE 33

The ultimate reincarnation of the Lotus Type 25. While failing to bring Lotus a podium in 1964, the Type 33 wrote history the year after. With Jim Clark at the wheel, the F1 Driver’s Championship was a shoo-in with 5 of his 6 victories won in the 33.

F1 Paddock

The full F1 history will be on display in the Festival of Speed’s main paddock. Classic Team Lotus is present with no less than 6 classic Lotus cars, encompassing a defining era of the pinnacle of motorsport. Among them the Type 78, the first ground effect car in Formula 1, and the infamous banned Type 88.

Lotus World Champions on track

Prepare for a historic moment in front of Goodwood House on Saturday when at least 6 former World Champions drive their Championship-winning cars into the Turning Circle. None other than Emerson Fittipaldi and Mario Andretti represent Lotus in the Type 72 and 78.

EVOLUTION OF LEGACY

Every single Lotus car from the past shaped and influenced the models we build today. Get up close and personal with the cars that represent the Lotus fleet of today — the Eletre, Emeya, Emira Clark Edition and Emira GT4.

ELETRE X EMEYA

DRIVE UNCONVENTIONAL

Two one-of-a-kind luxury Hyper-EVs that define a new class of cars. Both destined to turn heads at the Hillclimb, when they display the full scope of their abilities, all the way up to 900+ hp.

EMIRA CLARK EDITION

SALUTE TO A LEGEND

EMIRA GT4 & CUP RACER

DESIGNED FOR VICTORY

Suit up, helmet on. The Emira Gt4 marks the start of an exciting new era in performance GT racing for Lotus and will be a presence to be reckoned with at this year’s Festival of Speed.

EVIJA

DRIVE THE FUTURE

The most powerful production car ever built will grace Goodwood visitors with its presence in the Supercar Paddock — while opening its dihedral doors to some of them. The next generation of automotive performance has arrived. Watch the Evija in the Supercar batch twice a day between Thursday - Sunday at the Festival of Speed.

THEORY 1

THIS IS LOTUS DESIGN DNA

The 2025 edition of Goodwood marks the official debut of Lotus Theory 1 at the Festival of Speed. The ultimate expression of Lotus’ new design philosophy, that embodies 3 core principles: Digital, Natural, Analogue.
