Lotus 72

The 72 was yet another innovative design by Colin Chapman and Maurice Phillippe featuring inboard brakes, side-mounted radiators in sidepods, as opposed to the nose-mounted radiators, which had been commonplace since before the war. The overall shape of the car was innovative too, resembling a wedge on wheels which was inspired by the earlier Lotus 56 gas turbine car. The shape made for better air penetration and higher speeds. In a back-to-back test with the Lotus 49, the 72 was 12 mph faster with the same Cosworth engine.

The HP is innacurate due to speed issues.

    @Rocketguy2079 Well. I did it here for accuracy. I also don't recommend getting throat cancer.

    Well @F1Fan8910 I didn’t put the Gold leaf logos on my car because I dont want to use cigarette branding in my builds. I don’t want to promote them.
