The Lotus T125, also known as the Lotus Exos, is a single seater sports car produced by Lotus Cars. Lotus planned on producing 25 units, but only 5 have been produced. [1] The T125 appeared on Top Gear in July 2011, driven by Jeremy Clarkson. The T125 is also known as the Exos, which is a reference to the exosphere.

The project was a failure, with only a few cars built and delivered. The project was sold to a New Zealand-based company called Rodin Cars. Rodin Cars took the T125 and improved upon it, adding its own components such as a new titanium exhaust, titanium steering wheel and composite seats. It is renamed the Rodin ZFED and is priced at $650,000.[2]
