Some cars leave a paper trail; the Lola T280 left a name and a place in Lola Cars's list. What follows is what can be said with a source behind it. The shape is credited to Eric Broadley / John Barnard / Patrick Head.
The story
The Lola T280, and its evolutions, the Lola T282, Lola T284, and Lola T286, are a series of 3-liter Group 5 (and later Group 6) sports prototype race cars, designed by Eric Broadley, John Barnard, and Patrick Head, and developed and built by British manufacturer and constructor Lola, for World Sportscar Championship sports car racing, between 1972 and 1976.
What is underneath
the output is 445 hp. On the scales it comes to 660-700 kg. That is roughly 674 horsepower per tonne: hypercar territory, where the limiting factor is the tyre, not the engine. The wheelbase is 2336 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Its place in the line
In the Lola Cars line-up the Lola T280 has a clear place: it replaced the Lola T210; it handed the line to the Lola T290. Nearby in the Lola Cars catalogue sit the Hill GH1 and the Lola B02/50.
