What flower is depicted in the Lotus car emblem?

The story behind the answer

A lotus flower is depicted in the Lotus car emblem.

The Lotus badge features a stylized yellow lotus flower above the company name, enclosed within a green circular field. The initials ACBC appear within the flower, referring to Anthony Colin Bruce Chapman, the company’s founder.

Lotus was established in 1952 by Chapman in England and became known for lightweight sports and racing cars. The flower is therefore not merely decorative: it is combined with the founder’s initials and forms the central motif of the marque’s identity.

People sometimes describe the emblem as a four-pointed star or a generic blossom because the petals are highly stylized. Its intended subject is specifically a lotus flower, matching the company name. The green-and-yellow color scheme has also been closely associated with Lotus racing and road cars.
