British motorsport magazine Autosport unveiled Thursday that Lotus would develop an aero package for the new survival cell to be produced by Dallara for the IZOD IndyCar series from 2012.
Lotus Cars, not to be confused with the Tony Fernandes-owned Lotus Racing Formula 1 team, is already helping the KV Racing Technology IndyCar team with financial and technological support this year.
Takuma Sato’s car is painted to the famous colours of Lotus: British green and yellow.
Lotus Cars now plans to take advantage of the rule that allows teams to develop their own aerodynamic package for the new Dallara spec IndyCar chassis that will be used from 2012.
Autosport magazine added that Lotus Cars motorsport director Claudio Berro said: "We plan to do our own bodykit. It is a natural evolution of our involvement in the IndyCar Series."
