This race car is made from plant fibers, volcanoes, ... and seawater?

Lola Cars is producing a limited run of 16 T70S continuation race cars, featuring a unique blend of historic design and modern sustainable materials such as plant fibers and magnesium derived from seawater. These vehicles are available in both FIA-homologated historic racing configurations and UK road-legal GT versions, marking a significant step in Lola's post-bankruptcy revival.

Background

Lola Cars, a historic British racing car manufacturer, filed for bankruptcy in 2022 and is now rebuilding its operations through the production of continuation models. The T70 was a successful sports prototype from the 1960s, known for its dominance in Can-Am and endurance racing.
