The rebirth of a legend
Jenson Button, Ant Anstead and Mark Stubbs had a bold vision: nothing less than the rebirth of the legendary Lotus 62 from the 1960ties as a strictly limited, fully bespoke high performance car. They bought the brand of legendary coachbuilder Radford and founded Radford motors.
Based on the chassis of the Lotus Exige, the beautifully designed car needed a reliable high performance powertrain - this was where JUBU came in. Based on the proven technology of our JP ZERO cars, we adapted the powertrain for dual-use (road & track) and fit it in the brand new Lotus Radford P62-2. This may sound like an quick and easy job, but came with lots of engineering and development work - because the requirement was nothing less than creating a high-end, vintage style but modern technology supercar.
Besides the fully comissioned drivetrain, we also helped to develop multiple other systems/components of the car and were happy to push the project forward until the first production cars.
We developed and manufactured 3 variants of engines (500hp, 550hp, 600hp) which can be combined with 3 variants of JUBU gearboxes (HD manual, Dual-Clutch, Sequential), depending on customer demand.
