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:

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