Lotus Racing unveiled its 2010 challenger, the Lotus Cosworth T127, at a glittering event in London's Royal Horticultural Hall.
Team Principal Tony Fernandes was joined on stage by Chief Technical Officer Mike Gascoyne and regular drivers Jarno Trulli and Heikki Kovalainen, and by reserve driver Fairuz Fauzy to take the wraps off the car in front of a 500 strong live audience.
As the lights came up the car's stunning green and yellow livery was seen for the first time, striking an emotional chord with both young and old alike and evoking memories of some of motor racing's most iconic moments in an entirely contemporary fashion.
The green-and-yellow Lotus T127 is powered by the new V-8 Cosworth engine mated to an X-Trac gearbox and shod on Bridgestone tires.
Fauzy shookdown the car on the short Stowe circuit of Silverstone a few days before the launch.
