The project was a failure, with only a few cars built and delivered. The project was soldtoa New Zealand-based company called [[Rodin Cars]]. Rodin Cars took the T125 and improved upon it, adding its own components such as a new titanium exhaust, titanium steering wheel and composite seats. It is renamed the Rodin ZFED and is priced at $650,000.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.topgear.com/car-news/motorsport/lotus-t125-track-car-has-returned-rodin-fzed|title=The Lotus T125 track car has returned as the Rodin FZED FZED uses a 675bhp Cosworth V8 and will cost $650,000|author=Tom Harrison|date=2 Aug 2019|website=[[Top Gear]]}}</ref>
