Lotus Unveils the Powerful and Iconic Type 66 Can-Am Racer

Lotus has unveiled the Type 66, a modern version of a historic car that was originally proposed for the 1970 Can-Am championship but never built. Limited to just 10 track-only models, each priced in the seven figures, the Type 66 features a period-correct V-8 engine, modern sequential gearbox, ABS, and performance comparable to a current GT3 race car. The car's design was brought to life using sketches and designs from the original project, and it incorporates period-appropriate features such as side-mounted radiators and a rear-width wing. The Type 66 is finished in the iconic red, white, and gold colors of Lotus's Formula 1 team from that era.
