Lotus marketing chief teased an image of Theory 1. Could this be a rumored all-electric sports car and successor to the Lotus Elise?

The Theory 1's design is aggressive and sporty, with a prominent wing and sleek taillights

Lotus models typically have names starting with the letter "E," but Theory 1 breaks this tradition, suggesting it's a preview of future designs

If the Theory 1 has some connection with the Type 135 all-electric sports car teased by Lotus in 2021

It could end up being a rival to the upcoming Porsche 718 EV

The Type 132, which is now the Lotus Eletre SUV

And the Type 133, the Lotus Emeya sedan have already gone on sale

The Theory 1 might be a sneak peek at the highly anticipated Type 135, a sports car expected to launch in 2027.

Lotus is developing a new lightweight electric vehicle architecture that will be used for multiple cars, including the Type 135

The Type 135 will have a unique battery placement behind the cabin, similar to a traditional engine, allowing for a lower driving position

Lotus and founder Colin Chapman, have a history of building lightweight, driver-focused sports cars, and Theory 1 is expected to follow this tradition

Expected to cost $95,000, the Theory 1 will face competition from other electric sports cars like the upcoming Porsche Boxster EV, and the MG Cyberster in Europe and China

The official unveiling of the Theory 1 is scheduled for September 17th, and it remains to be seen if that car that takes over from the Emira is an electric Elise or a glimpse into the future of Lotus design.

The 2021 Porsche Mission R concept, with 1,073 horsepower, is a showcase of Porsche's EV aspirations

Brad Build's rendering reimagines the Mission R without the wing, allowing for a better appreciation of the car's lines

The original Mission R's design is aggressive and motorsports-inspired, with a prominent wing and red-and-white livery

The rendering's aesthetic is more aftermarket and underground, featuring a unique whitish-pink hue

Some unique touches include multi-spoke BUC-M Rotiform wheels, wrapped in low-profile R888R Toyo tires

The rear 3/4 view, without the wing; is particularly striking, highlighting the car's aggressive diffuser and wide rear tires.

The recently unveiled, Lamborghini Temerario also features a similar design element with exposed rear tires

The production version of the Mission R remains uncertain

But its compact size aligns with Porsche design boss, Micheal Mauer's desire for a smaller 911

The Mission R's E-Core platform will be used in the upcoming all-electric 983 Boxster, improving battery weight distribution.

Edgy, angular headlights inspired by the Taycan

High-mounted rear stop light and rear bumper charge port

This render differs from prototypes by including a full-length light bar and a backlit Porsche logo

The rendering also doesn't feature, what appears to be side-vents as seen on the prototype. But why would the electric Boxster need it if its an EV?

The Boxster EV (983) will be built on Porsche's E-Core platform (seen in the Mission R concept)

The battery pack placement aims to maintain the mid-engine feel of the gas-powered model

Success hinges on replicating the Boxster experience, offering good range, charging, and competitive pricing

Porsche's decision to ditch gold crests for Turbonite on all upcoming Turbo models, is a bold and refreshing move

The Pantone Color Institute's involvement adds an extra layer of exclusivity

It's a clear indication that the brand is looking to evolve while staying true to the Turbo lineup's five decade heritage

It's not surprising that it has generated a lot of buzz on the web and beyond

Cayenne and Panamera crowd might not care much, but for 911 and Boxster/Cayman enthusiasts, it could open a new dimension

I've already stumbled upon a 911 Targa model on Reddit, that's rocking a Turbonite badge on the hood. You can find one on Ebay for anywhere between $150-$300

Online marketplaces are already flooded with Turbonite accessories, from badges and center caps to thermos cups and key chains

It's a clear indication that the Turbonite craze is in full swing

However, people trying to slap Turbonite badges on lower-spec 911s, could create a situation that would be a Porsche purist's worst nightmare.

Porsche first explored the concept of a wagon with the 928-4 concept car

I stumbled upon a 996-inspired wagon made with A.I. The wagon's design is impressive, with a unique glasshouse and wide rear end

The cargo space on the render though, appears to be similar to an Impreza Wagon. compared to boxier options like a Volvo V70R from that time

In the early 2000s, a sporty wagon would have been a desirable option for a middle-aged dad with a lead foot

Performance SUVs weren't around as the Cayenne was yet to make its debut, and choices for practical performance wagons were limited.

While Japanese automakers dominated the practical performance wagon market you had a few sporty options from European automakers

BMW E39 (540i), Audi (C5 RS6), and Volvo also offered sporty wagon options

Creating a Porsche wagon would involve significant engineering challenges, as seen with the Panamera. The engine placement in a sedan or wagon differs from a 911

Porsche has embraced the wagon format with both the Taycan and Panamera Sport Turismo models

While some dislike the 996's fried-egg headlights, there are affordable fixes available

While the 996's cabin was low-rent, a combination of performance and practicality would have made it a compelling choice.

A 996-inspired wagon would have been a desirable option in the 2000s. Swipe up to read more.

Porsche's Turbo models have been synonymous with high-performance luxury since the 1970s.

The first turbocharged 911, introduced in 1974, became a legend

To celebrate this 50-year legacy, Porsche has developed a signature color dubbed Turbonite

Inspired by the pyrite mineral, Porsche collaborated with New-York based Pantone, responsible for color cars in the fashion world

A lot of colors including Carmine red and orange were considered to be the Turbo's accent color

But Turbonite was chosen, as it offers a more sophisticated and stealthy look compared to gold accents

Turbo models afterall are designed to be subtle and powerful

Turbonite was first seen on the 2023 Panamera Turbo and later on the Macan EV Turbo

Turbonite will be featured on various trim pieces throughout the car

You'll also find it across various trim pieces and on the Porsche crest, in the cabin of Turbo models

The Turbonite treatment can vary depending on the model

Turbonite will eventually be available on all future Turbo models
