Technology in race cars (1): Lotus 16 from 1958 - a quirky type

The years 1958-1978 were the two most creative decades in the history of racing technology. Innovative vehicles were created and a lot of pioneering work was done in terms of aerodynamics and lightweight construction. One example of this era is the Lotus 16 from 1958, which had aerodynamic advantages thanks to its angled engine. This article from "Technology in racing cars" looks at the technical features of the Lotus 16 from 1958.
