1956 Lotus Eleven<\/strong> 
Pilots: R.Bicknell, P. Jopp 
Team: Lotus Engineering<\/em> 
Race: 7th GC (1st S 1.1 class) at Le Mans in 1956 
Spark - S2188 (resin) <\/pre>\n\n\n\n

Produced from 1956 to 1958, the Eleven came from the pen of Colin Chapman himself.  And Frank Costin created a very aerodynamic body, that guaranteed a very low drag . You could buy it in three distinct specifications, ranging from the basic \u201cSports\u201d model to the top-of-the-line \u201cLe Mans\u201d. It became a quite popular car among privateers, with a total of 270 units built. The car\u2019s chassis, derived from the Lotus Mark 9, was a tubular space frame that was covered by an aluminum body. The engine usually was a 1.1 or 1.5 l by Coventry Climax, but privateers used different power plants. The car was absurdly light – fully loaded, it weighed only about 450 kg (1000 lb)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though to my eyes it doesn’t look so, the car was really petite.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
At La Sarthe in 1956, for their three cars<\/a>, the works team used the Coventry-Climax FWA engine. It was a 1098 cm\u00b3 SOHC inline-4 that produced a feeble 83 hp of power. However, on an ultra lightweight car, those puny 83 horses were enough to make Eleven #36 (chassis #210) finish in 7th place overall. And, as a bonus, 1st place in the S 1.1 class. Another oddball for my collection, and this time a pretty ugly one. Honestly, I think this is one of the ugliest Lotus that I\u2019ve seen, so ugly that it\u2019s cool. And in 1:43 it came out great, and one more win for Spark. Although this looks like something I would expect from Bizarre<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
