How The LOTEC Sirius and C1000 Met For The FIRST Time | Capturing Car Culture

Description

For the first time ever, the Lotec C1000 and Lotec Sirius come face to face. Built by German engineer Kurt Lotterschmid, both cars represent Lotec’s pursuit of extreme speed and uncompromising engineering, with Mercedes-Benz power, lightweight construction, and four-digit horsepower. The C1000 came first in the 1990s as a bespoke twin-turbo V8 hypercar. The Sirius followed as an even more ambitious twin-turbo V12 machine. Neither reached series production. Only one of each exists. In this episode of Capturing Car Culture, Larry Chen documents a historic meeting between two of the rarest and most obscure hypercars ever built.
