Every car is an argument about what matters, and the Lola T70 makes its case with gasoline engine and NNN hp. Lola Cars put it on sale and let the numbers do the talking. Its designer of record is Eric Broadley.
The story
The Lola T70 is a sports prototype developed by British manufacturer Lola Cars in 1965, the successor to its Mk6. Lola built the aluminium monocoque chassis, which were typically powered by large American V8s. The T70 was quite popular in the mid to late 1960s, with more than 100 examples being built in three versions: an open-roofed MK I, MK II and MK III spyder, followed by a Mk III coupé, and finally a slightly updated Mk IIIB. The T70 was replaced in the Can-Am series by the lighter Lola T160.

Its place in the line
Where it sits in Lola Cars's history is not in doubt: the Lola Mk6 came before it; the Lola T160 (Can-Am) followed it. Nearby in the Lola Cars catalogue sit the Hill GH1 and the Lola B02/50.
