Specifications Lotus 99T F1 OW 1987 blueprint
The Lotus 99T F1 car of 1987 was a revolutionary break-through in Formula 1 racing technology, and its advanced engineering and advanced aerodynamics set the standard in the world of racing. It was designed by Gérard Ducarouge as an evolution of the previous Lotus 97T that had won the 1986 world championship for the team. The car utilized a Honda RA162E V6 turbocharged engine that was capable of producing up to 1100 horsepower at peak power, and the 99T was known to be fast and reliable. The wheelbase was lengthened by 25cm and the car had a wider track. To further maximize aerodynamic efficiency, the car was fitted with a ground effect diffuser that generated a large downforce. Lotus also implemented adjustable ride height and active suspension to further improve aerodynamic performance. The 99T utilized state of the art carbon-Kevlar composite bodywork and light alloy wheel rims to keep the car light and provide improved handling. A five-speed gearbox was used to shift through the tight, winding racetracks, and the car featured advanced brakes and lightweight magnesium-alloy wheels with ultra-low profile tires for excellent grip in the corners. All of these features combined to make the 99T the best performing car of the 1987 Formula 1 season, and it continues to be a benchmark of innovation in racing technology.
