Much much better looking than last year's well done Lotus

@GTPorsche They are inlets, Craig Scarborough believing they are to cool the gearbox. Usual for teams to have a smaller inlet beneath the mean rollover hoop inlet, but not this large or wide.

What a difference a year makes in terms of the nose! Very good looking on E23 thankfully.
@MHPALA do you mean this?
Thanx for the closeup. I could not see that form the pics posted by the OP. That's somewhat innovative.

It doesn't take long for Twitter to produce closeups of areas of interest!

Best looking car of the 2015 grid.........so far.

I think I'm seeing a 4th inlet central and below the main hoop intake. Common for teams to have a separate gearbox channel here, so maybe the side "ears" are for something else - a return to passive DRS?

Maldonado shouldn't be allowed to drive this car.

Good of Lotus to paint the parts Maldonado most likely to lodge into another car in bright red...

Well, Maldonado did bring the PDVSA sponsors.. guess it's up to him to get rid of them.

I'm not sure if I like it or not. The side view looks a bit bland and the nose seems a bit awkward.

Air intake is probably far different due to the 2015 engine being different for the Mercedes and completely different for Lotus in general. I love the diffuser image they've given us.

Why can't I see this thread in the subforum? I got on Autosport this morning and then came over here. When I didn't see a thread, I created one. It got closed because of this thread, but were it not for the link posted in that thread, I never would have seen this one.

Meh, the car is ok, not going to bother watching this years season either,

No, I know what's causing it now.
I do, too, but at the same time, it looks a little too simple. The side profile looks like something that I would gave drawn when I was bored. Maybe it's just the dark colours and the lighting that makes it hard to pick out fine detail.
It's better than the black, gold and red of previous years.

It looks like antiperspirant.
Maybe it'll be quicker than last year's car, maybe it'll finally send the team over the edge. Who knows?
A side note, when is it that the rights for Toleman to use the Lotus name expire again? Was it 2017? What will they do then if they can't renew it?
