Lola T160

The Lola T160, and its evolution, the Lola T165, is a series of purpose-built Group 7 sports prototype race cars, designed and developed by British chassis manufacturer Lola Cars, specifically to compete in the Can-Am series in 1968.
The T160 was the successor to the competitive T70, sharing similar design and roots. Lola built the chassis, constructed out of fiberglass, and molded it into an aluminum monocoque body. This meant the car was lightweight, weighing only. The chassis was designed to accept a small-block engine, but most cars were powered by either the Chevrolet ZL1 or the Ford FE "big-blocks", generating about ; mated to a 4-speed or 5-speed Hewland L.G.500 or L.G.600 manual transmission. This made the cars very fast, with a notably excellent power-to-weight ratio. It was used in active competition until 1971, and was succeeded and used alongside the new T220 in 1970.
