Lotus 15 - The strange breakdown winner

Better, faster and - it was hoped - even more successful, Lotus wanted to give the successful Lotus Eleven an even more powerful brother. The new Coventry Climax 1.5-liter FPF engine, which was originally intended for Formula 2, was the reason for this. The result was a car that had excellent beginnings and, as so often in typical Lotus style, really only knew two extremes: Victory or total failure.
