Not only does the iconic race car manufacturing company Lola still exist, but it announced a 16-model run of continuation cars built using scans of the T70 sports prototype race car. Back in the 1960s, the Lola T70 announced its arrival to racing by winning the Monterey Grand Prix at Laguna Seca Raceway, and went on to become a legendary race car that took on the Ford GT40 and Porsche 908 on the track. As well as using scans to reboot the T70 for the 21st century as the T70S, Lola used archive drawings to recreate the original using modern materials.Lola The Lola T70S Lola says of the T70S that "every component has been re-engineered to meet contemporary standards of precision while remaining faithful to the original design." In effect, the recreation uses modern materials, science, manufacturing, and quality control to make it an even more precise track car. Like the original Can-Am racer, it uses a Chevrolet engine. In this case, a 5.0-liter small-block Chevrolet V8 delivers 530 horsepower and 425 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels.Unlike the original T70, the T70S bodywork is made using Lola Natural Composite System (LNCS). The original used fiberglass for the body, but Lola is using the reboot to showcase its patent-pending bodywork material. According to Lola, the material uses "all-natural plant and basalt fibers with a fully renewable resin system derived from sugar cane processing waste, resulting in a groundbreaking 100% ‘natural’ (petrochemical-free) bodywork system."Lola The environmentally friendly bodywork is clearly lightweight, as Lola says that the T70S will go from zero to 62 mph in 2.5 seconds. That's impressive, as 530 horsepower is not a lot of power to clear 62 mph in such a short stretch. It also means the T70S is going to be a wild experience to drive on track, as the car uses a period-correct transaxle, a double-wishbone suspension setup, and a five-speed manual transmission. The Road-Going Version Lola Lola is a British company at heart, despite its history of success in the US racing Can-Am and being involved in the development of the original Ford GT40. So, Lola is offering a UK road-registered T70 GT version with a larger 6.2-liter Chevrolet V8 but less horsepower and "only" a 2.9-second sprint to 62 mph. It's a T70S that's been refined for the road with better ergonomics, climate control added, and refined dampers and transmission.The T70S production run of 16 units includes both the track version and the GT version, making this an incredibly rare car with one hell of a pedigree to go with an obscene level of performance.While there are otherincredibly limited-production carsaround, a continuation of a legendary race car puts the Lola T70S a cut above. It was even put together with former F1 driver Johnny Herbert as test driver. No doubt, the price will reflect its physical and historical value along with its exclusivity for those that can afford to inquire about getting one.
