Lotus F1 Team Mad Max Hybrid unveiled

The Lotus F1 Team has teamed up with Warner Bros Pictures to produce a one-off Mad Max Hybrid.

Described as an F1 car "reimagined for a post-apocalyptic future," the Mad Max Hybrid features spikes, flame throwers and five-spoke alloy wheels with off-road tires.  The model also has skulls mounted on the front wing.

In a statement, Lotus F1 Team CEO Matthew Carter said “[The] Lotus F1 Team is always viewed as a challenger team, so this was a fantastic opportunity to work with Warner Bros Pictures on the concept of producing a Formula 1 car for the ultimate challenge of the nightmare scenario of an apocalyptic society seemingly headed for oblivion. This car acknowledges the tenacious nature of Lotus F1 Team; no matter what the rules in Formula 1’s future, we are here to stay and compete.”
