Lola shows off advanced composites by reviving the T70

Lola is doing much more to distinguish itself in its motor racing comeback attempt than I expected. Apparently as a way of showing off its prowess in composite manufacturing, it has just announced a new T70.

It’s based on the Mk3B that won the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1969, but instead of being made of fiberglass, the bodywork is a demonstration of a new process Lola is calling the Lola Natural Composite System (LNCS). It has been granted an FIA passport making it eligible for historic racing (despite having a contemporary Chevrolet V8 inside), and there will be 16 road-legal versions sold to the fabulously wealthy as well.
