Photo Gallery «Technology in race cars (8): Lotus 25 - the innovative monocoque monoposto»
With the Lotus 25, Colin Chapman launched the first monocoque single-seater with a central engine in 1962, a design approach that subsequently became the standard. Lotus was not only able to use the new design successfully in the Formula 1 circuit, but also achieved success with it at the Indianapolis 500 miles. This article from the series "Technology in racing cars from 1958 to 1978" describes the construction of the Lotus 25, tells its story and shows it in historical and current images.
