Source: Lotus The Lotus Type 72 was amongst the most successful cars in the history of Formula 1. Its pioneering use of side mounted radiators and a front "wedge" nose cone gained Lotus twenty world championship race wins, three formula 1 Constructor's Championships (1970, 1972 and 1973) and two Driver's World Championships (for Jochen Rindt in 1970 and Emerson Fittipaldi in 1972). The Elise Type 72 commemorates this historic race car. Updated 09:16 PM - October 15, 2008
