Lotus 99T

The Lotus 99T of 1987 was the last Lotus with Ayrton Senna and one of the most innovative cars of its time. In a year in which turbo engines were still reaching 4 bar of pressure, the team incorporated an electronically controlled active suspension system that kept the car at a constant height, a notable technical advance. The carbon fiber chassis housed a Honda V6 turbo engine of 1.5 liters from the RA16x family (RA166E or RA167E), with about 900 hp. Thanks to its sophistication and to Senna's skill, the car shone on urban circuits: it won in Monaco and Detroit, added eight podiums and placed Lotus third in the championship. That victory in Detroit was the last of Lotus in Formula 1. Its legacy is the of a technological pioneer who advanced the era of active suspensions and stood out for its iconic yellow Camel decoration.
