You know what you get when motorsports companies make bikes? Overpriced crap they outsourced and then slapped their logos on. $2550 for an Alivo equipped MTB with a low level shock:
Ferrari MTB 26" wheel carbon fibre bike

Or you could buy the $32k Lamborghini, made by BMC: https://www.citylab.com/design/2013/...-bicycle/4954/

Lotus did make a track bike, but they're kinda a one-off oddball company anyhow.
