Lotus 49

The Lotus 49 is a formula 1 Team Lotus team, designed by Colin Chapman and Maurice Philippe who ran from 1967 to 1970. Cosworth DFV, it becomes the first single-seater Formula 1 powered engine (it is not composed a front half hull, the Cosworth DFV engine serving as a rear structure) to have won a Grand Prix.

In the hands of Graham Hill, she is world champion (manufacturer and driver titles) in 1968, so allows Lotus and Jochen Rindt, in the first half of the 1970 season, to earn valuable points. Graham Hill's car, world champion in 1968, is on display at the private collection Setton, France. This car is very different from the Lotus 43 which did not have the expected success. It differs mainly in its new design with its load-bearing motor that replaces the rear half of the riveted aluminum hull. This technique, if it allows an interesting weight gain thanks to the small size of the hull, requires the design of a stronger engine block to resist the induced torsional forces.

Chapman, thanks to his relationship with the Ford group during the Lotus adventure in Indianapolis, convinces the American giant to take care of the production of the engine, its design being entrusted to the couple Keith Duckworth, one of his old collaborators, and Mike Costin who created the Cosworth Manufacture (Cos de Costin and Duckworth Worth). From these alliances is born the V8 DFV (Double Four Valves or Double Camshaft and four valves per cylinder) of 3 liters that will dominate the Formula 1 for fifteen years, winning 155 races.

It will be equipped with rear suspensions with parallel arms.

Several versions of this car will be designed, the 49, the 49B and the 49C. The first version of this Lotus does not have any fins or whiskers yet and is the last to keep the traditional English green colors with the straw-yellow central stripe. In its first appearance, the 49 is equipped with a gearbox ZF-5D3-12 replaced, to increase its reliability, by a much more robust Hewland box at the beginning of the 1967 season. It participates in the 1967 season from the third Grand Prix, Holland at Zandvoort, which she won; it is also the first victory of a Cosworth engine. It allows the team to win another three races (Silverstone, Watkins Glen then Mexico).
