The Lotus T125, also known as the Lotus Exos, is a single seater open-wheel sports car produced by Lotus Cars. Lotus produced 25 units.[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.

A T125 was donated to the non-profit Genius Garage in October 2021. Genius Garage gives young people hands on experience with engineering projects to help provide jobs in the engineering industry.[2]
