Lotus has chosen to launch its 2013 Formula 1 car, the E21, online.
The new car will be unveiled via the Lotus YouTube channel at 11:15 p.m. ET on Monday, Jan. 28.
Lotus's choice of date means it will be the first F1 team to take the wraps off a 2013 car, as its unveiling takes place three days before McLaren's.
The team has retained Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean for this season after taking a big step forward in performance during 2012.
