Lotus Has It All Wrapped Up

[Mark H]

It's not unusual for a Lotus Exige 'S' to turn heads, but one particular car is rousing more curiosity than

most. Covered in a patriotic red, white and blue Union Jack design, one Exige 'S' is the recent star of

the Discovery Channel's popular series 'How Do They Do It?'.

With its voluptuous curves and cut-away details, the Exige is one of the most distinctive and unique

cars on the road, so it was a perfect choice for the 'How Do They Do It?' team who were looking for a

challenging case study for their vehicle wrapping feature. 'Totally Dynamic' who specialise in the

application of vinyl wraps were assigned the project and took 10 hours to transform the iconic Exige

for the documentary which follows the project from brief to the finished car making its track debut.

The scheme was developed by Lotus Design to move away from the traditional static Union Jack to

that of a flying flag to show the essence of movement and speed. The finished car is a real attention

seeker and has amazing track presence.

Lotus has a fantastic history of producing one-off and collectors-edition cars and Union Jack Exige sits

amongst Lotus most exceptional and extraordinary looking vehicles. Mike Kimberley, CEO of Group

Lotus commented, "At Lotus we pride ourselves in spearheading the development of technology in

the vehicle market and working on this project was a truly unique opportunity. Lotus Design captured

a very special element of our heritage with the brief, 'great British racing'. The Union Jack theme and

the flying flag concept perfectly embody the Lotus spirit".

'Totally Dynamic' supplied the expertise for the intricate process in which a team of 4 installation

technicians expertly applied a vinyl wrap to the Exige 'S', transforming the car in just 10 hours. The

process was exciting but extremely complex, as 'Totally Dynamic' MD Adrian Rope explained, "Our

whole team was excited by the challenge that the Lotus Exige's stunning contours presented us. It

was a pleasure working on such a thoroughbred car and our experience with high performance

vehicles was crucial to creating the professional finish it deserved.

 

"It was a real privilege to have been chosen out of all the vehicle wrapping companies in the UK by the

Discovery Channel and Lotus and their faith in us demonstrates why Totally Dynamic is the cutting

edge choice for vehicle transformation."

For a limited time the Union Jack Lotus Exige 'S' will be joining the Lotus Roadshow which consists of

the latest Lotus models and is visiting the UK network of Lotus dealers.

 

'How do they do it' airs Friday 28th March at 5:30pm on the Discovery Channel.
