Lotus returns to F1; with new car


As you might have already heard yesterday, Lotus is now returning to F1. To celebrate, they have made a new version of the Exige. The car is called the Exige S Type 72, which means that it lends homage to one of the most successful F1 car of all-time; the Lotus Type 72. This incredible F1 car was driven by some of Lotus' greats, including Jochen Rindt, Emerson Fittipaldi, Ronnie Peterson and Jacky Ickx. The car also won the Constructors’ Championships 3 times, in 1970, 1972 and 1973. Two Drivers’ World Championships were also won by this car. The first was won by Jochen Rindt in 1970 and the second by Emerson Fittipaldi in 1972. The new S Type 72 is not much different than the other Exige models, just that it will be limited to a production of 20 cars and it will be a special edition Lotus, exclusive in the UK.
