Specifications Lotus 97T F1 GP OW 1985 blueprint
The Lotus 97T was a Formula One car designed for the 1985 Grand Prix season, developed by Peter Wright and Martin Ogilvie of Team Lotus. Constructed from a carbon fibre monocoque, the 97T proved to be a reliable, competitive and light weight vehicle on track; as a result, the car won three Grand Prix victories in the hands of driver Ayrton Senna. The car was propelled by a 1.5 litre Renault turbocharged V6 engine, capable of producing approximately 850 hp in qualifying trim. The transmission was a 6-speed manual with a carbon fibre clutch, mounted in a semi-stressed engine arrangement. For suspension, the 97T was equipped with double wishbones with pull-rod operated rocker arm transmission, and rocker stabiliser designed for optimal balance and handling characteristics. The torsion bar provided the linked telescopic suspension along with a hydraulic damper system. The 97T featured contemporary aerodynamic attributes, such as a front adjustable flap, side winglet and small rear winglet. Additionally, the car's brake system was based on an aerospace design and was improved from previous Lotus models. Combined with Senna's talented driving, the 97T was regarded as one of the most successful cars in Formula One history. Despite a strong performance, the 97T was replicated and surpassed with more advanced cars in the 1986 season. Nevertheless, the 97T was an iconic car that showcased the true innovation and performance capability of Lotus and its drivers.
