Specifications Lotus 77 F1 OW 1976 blueprint
The Lotus 77 F1 OW was a Formula One car that was designed and produced by the British team, Lotus, during the 1976 season. A development of the successful Lotus 72, the 77 boasted a number of changes to its design that allowed it to compete with the other Grand Prix entries. It was powered by the Ford-Cosworth DFV 3.0 litre V8 engine, and used a magnesium monocoque chassis design, making it light and rigid. The suspension was by double wishbone, coil spring and damper units, which allowed the car to maintain better contact with the track. The car also featured a larger fuel tank, giving the 77 increased range over its predecessor, allowing drivers to, in theory, compete for longer periods of time. Visually, the car was striking, with a distinctive gold and green livery. Maple Leaf airboxes and air venturi sat atop the bulging engine cover, and were flanked by an aggressively shaped front wing. The car sat low and wide on the tarmac, giving it an imposing presence on the grid. Within it, the cockpit provided the driver with an ergonomic driving position, with a sculpted dash and steering wheel aiding maneuverability. The 77 proved to be instantly successful, and propelled drivers Mario Andretti and Gunnar Nilsson to a number of podium finishes. However, the car was eventually eclipsed by the more modern designs appearing as the sport moved into the turbo era. Despite this, the Lotus 77 remains one of the most significant Formula One cars of the 1970s, due to its design, performance, and stylistic qualities.
