If you can remember the name Lola, you should add that particular stamp to your passport as a car lover because you’ve earned it.
A half-forgotten name from an era that no longer exists, Lola is ready to make a comeback with a continuation car.
So basically a car designed using the original blueprints from the 1960s, but built with modern technology.
The company hasn’t given us an exact price tag yet, but we know how many are going to be built.
The new Lola T70 will have an American ‘heart’
Despite the ‘Italian-sounding’ name, Lola is actually a British company.
It was originally founded in the 1950s, then it stopped operations in the early 2010s, and now it’s back with a new project.
After making its comeback in 2024 with various motorsports project, the British manufacturer is ready to build road-going (and track-only) supercars for the public.
Inspired by the original T70 from the 1960s, the new continuation car (pictured above right next to the original, the green one) will be available as a track racer and a Grand Tourer.
The T70S Racer will be a hardcore track-only variant with harness mounts and roll cages.
By contrast, the T70S GT is designed as a street-legal model with a gearbox that can switch between manual and sequential – kind of like the Koenigsegg CC850.
We don’t know how much it’ll cost, but we know how many will be built
For the powertrain, the company opted for a Chevy-sourced small-block V8.
Interestingly, while both engines are made by Chevy, they’re quite different.
The T70S, the track-only variant, will use a 5.0-liter V8 with 530 horsepower.
The T70S GT will use a bigger but less powerful engine.
Under the hood of the Lola T70S GT, you’ll find a 6.2-liter V8 developing 500 horsepower.
Performance-wise, both cars should be capable of reaching 200+ mph and do 0-60 in around 2-3 seconds.
The company hasn’t provided a deadline or a price tag, but they did say only 16 units will be built.
Don’t quote us on this but, for a car like this, it might be difficult to keep the final selling price under seven figures.
