Specifications Lotus 49 GP Coupe 1967 blueprint
Touted as one of the most iconic Formula One cars ever built, the Lotus 49 GP Coupe 1967 was a revolutionary piece of technology. Developed by Colin Chapman and Maurice Philippe, it was the first Formula One car to feature the newly-developed Ford-Cosworth DFV V8 engine that would become the defining characteristic of Formula One cars for the next decade. The sleek body of the Lotus 49 GP Coupe was designed to reduce drag and facilitate superior aerodynamics, with the air intake situated on the top of the nose of the car and the exhaust situated on the sides. To maintain its high-performance, the Lotus used a chassis constructed of lightweight aluminum with rear suspension made of double wishbones with rocker arm. The brakes were mounted on the front wheels to provide better halting capacity. The Ford-Cosworth DFV V8 engine carried an impressive 299 bhp and allowed the car to reach a maximum speed of 312 km/h. It was coupled to a Hewland four-speed manual gearbox which was operated by the driver using a shift lever mounted on the side of its cockpit. The Lotus 49 also featured a four-valve design with a 14:1 compression ratio for powerful acceleration, and a structural fuel tank for greater fuel efficiency. For all its brilliant innovation, the Lotus 49 GP Coupe 1967 is one of the most legendary cars in Formula One history. Its stunning good looks, leading-edge aerodynamics, and incredible performance have made it a sought after collectors item, firmly cementing its place in the annals of motor racing.
