Lola Reintroduces T70 With 16-Car T70S Program

Lola pitches a faithful remake as a test bed for natural‑fiber bodywork it says lowers the car’s build emissions.

Overview

  • Lola launched re‑engineered T70S and T70S GT models as a limited run of 16 cars, splitting the range into a competition car and a UK road‑legal version.
  • The race‑focused T70S arrives with an FIA Historic Technical Passport after development that used original drawings and high‑resolution scans to keep the period look.
  • The T70S uses a lightweight aluminum monocoque and a 5.0‑liter small‑block Chevrolet V8 rated at 530 bhp with claimed performance of 0–60 mph in 2.5 seconds and a 203 mph top speed.
  • The road‑registered T70S GT features a 6.2‑liter small‑block Chevrolet V8 with 500 bhp, a claimed 200 mph top speed, and added comforts like improved ergonomics and climate control.
  • Lola is promoting a patent‑pending natural‑fiber body called LNCS that it says is petrochemical‑free and tied to an independent assessment showing about a 54% cut in cradle‑to‑gate CO2, though the assessor is not named.
