Lotus T128 launch – first pictures 即馬來西亞隊的 Lotus
Lotus have revealed the first images of their 2011 F1 car which is now called the T128.
The car was originally supposed to be called the TL11 which, according to the team, was to “simplify what could have been another point of contention” with Renault over the use of the name ‘Lotus’.
When asked by F1 Fanatic on Twitter about the change of name Tony Fernandes said:
Because we are continuing with history. We are a new dynasty but tradition continues.

One of the most striking features on the car is the use of a ‘blade’ roll hoop with a split air intake. However the central part of the ‘blade’ has to be thicker because of the change in the 2011 rules.
The team also confirmed the T128 will not use a Kinetic Energy Recovery System







Lotus’s chief technical officer Mike Gascoyne has high hopes for the new car:
I think that basically this car looks like a front-running car in every area. We said very clearly that we want to start challenging the established teams and I think that’s very achievable.
Mike Gasoyone
The team switch from Cosworth to Renault power this year and the T128′s gearbox is sourced from Red Bull.
Tony Fernandes’ Air Asia brand features prominently on the car. The airline previously sponsored Williams. The T128 also sports the logos of energy drink EQ8.
The car will be shown in public at Valencia tomorrow and be given its first run by Heikki Kovalainen on Wednesday.
2011 Lotus T128 今年改用 Renault 引擎及用紅牛波箱, 相信成績會比去年佳.
