TYPE 99T
INSPIRED BY TYPE99T
The vibrant yellow with distinct blue details transport you right back into 1987. The racing season in which Team Lotus clinched its final Formula One victory.
Blue accents on the front and side air intakes. The iconic number ‘12’. The LOTUS signature on the rear spoiler. Together they transfer the rebellious spirit of its famous predecessor to this Emira Limited.

TYPE 99T
LAST TEAM LOTUS WIN
The Type 99T is considered to be Colin Chapman’s last great Formula One innovation. A powerful one-two between computer-controlled ‘active’ suspension and Honda’s powerful turbo engine.
A true gift for a driver like Senna, who gladly unwrapped the increased cornering speed and boosted top speed on the straights. He was victorious at Monaco and in the Detroit Grand Prix.

This is more than a tribute to Type 97T. It’s a declaration of love. One of the most memorable liveries in Formula One history, returning today in the Emira Limited models.
Shadow Grey bodywork adorned with precision gold stripes, golden rims boosting confidence, while red brake calipers subtly match with the Union Jack decal on the front wings. Next to it the number ‘12’ - painted in gold.

SENNA’S MAIDEN WIN
SENNA’S MAIDEN WIN
Senna's first Lotus. Eight pole positions. Two wins. The 97T represented precision engineering at its finest and proved to be robust and powerful. It holds a special place in Formula history as the car in which Senna scored his first-ever – and most epic – GP victory in atrociously wet conditions at Estoril.
On that day, driver and car became one. And didn’t just race, but danced, in a league of their own.

THE ONE THAT COUNTS FOR TWO
THE ONE THAT COUNTS FOR TWO
In 1980 Lotus kicked off the decade in style, by revolutionising Formula One once again. Chapman introduced the racing world to the twin chassis Type 86 - which served as the prototype for the revolutionary Lotus 88.
The genius solution behind the twin-concept was to have two sprung bodies. The inner chassis took care of the driver and suspension, while the outer chassis optimised the aerodynamics of the car.

The Type 78 was highly successful, and looked magnificent doing it. The Emira Limited echoes the same grandeur. Breathtaking dark grey body paint, complemented by golden lines. A striking red front splitter highlights the homage to the revolutionary underfloor wing of its namesake.
Race number 5 painted on the side, next to the trademark half Union Jack, while gold and red details are carried over to the calipers and rims.

THE WORLD’S FIRST WING CAR
THE WORLD’S FIRST WING CAR
In 1977 Colin Chapman reaffirmed his title as Formula One’s main man with the first ‘wing’ car ever. Its revolutionary ground effect fundamentally changed the core principles of engineering, to this very day.
Mario Andretti claimed 4 Grands Prix wins in the Type 78. But it was gold galore the next season, with the perfected Type 79. Andretti became World Champion, and delivered four 1-2 finishes with Ronnie Peterson for Lotus.

THE REVOLUTION
THE REVOLUTION
The first-ever Formula One car with a monocoque. It was the blueprint that changed Formula One forever. And the slimmest racing car the world had ever seen, engineered completely around the driver.
Jim Clark dominated the track in the Type 25 with 14 Grand Prix wins and the 1963 Driver’s Championship. Proving Lotus wasn’t just an innovative racing team, but a winning one. And they’d only just begun.
