About the Lotus 38… “Designed by Colin Chapman and Len Terry, the Lotus 38 was built to win the Indianapolis 500. A reinvention of the previous Lotus 29 and 34 Indianapolis designs, the 38 was built with a full monocoque tub chassis. It was powered by the same four-cam Ford V8 fuel-injected engine that was used in the 34, providing around 500bhp. Though the 38 was significantly larger than Formula One cars of the era, it was still dwarfed by the massive American roadsters. The 38 was also specially designed with an offset suspension, which in theory, was better suited to the oval track of the Indy 500. This style of suspension would never catch on though, as it made the car’s handling quite peculiar. In total, eight Lotus 38s were built.”
