Gallery: Inside the Lotus C-01 factory

Last year we were lucky enough to get a ride on Lotus’ C-01 motorcycle that was rolled out in a super-limited run of just 100 bikes. We also got the rare chance to explore the Kodewa Perfomance Motorcycles facility in Germany where the machines were put together.

One of the hundred bikes is coming up for auction in North America later this week for an estimated £300,000, it’s quite a step up from the original estimated £70,000 price of the machines. We’ll let you decide if you think it’s worth it.
