A beauty from the days when car designers worked on a drafting board with paper, pencil and slide rules. The aerodynamics were of the the "if it looks good it flows good" method. Engines were tuned by looking at and reading spark plugs and changing carb jets. Handling was "how does it feel?" Nowadays a gaggle of PhD's sit at CAD terminal, sending their work to CAD/CAM machines. Engine tuners stare at telemetry screens. Cars had sponsor decals but weren't fully plastered with them. And drivers after a race didn't have to make sure that they mentioned every sponsor. The cars back then embodied that designer and had some of his soul in them. Now they are just one design computerized rolling billboards.
But, and you can't argue otherwise, new racecars are a lot faster, and if it's a race, that's the point. However I agree with you, it is a little sad that newer racecars don't look this good. At least high performance road cars nowadays go as fast and look almost as good as racecars from yesteryear.
you guys forget an important detail. safety regs and the dreaded rulebook every single official competition comes with. if rules allowed pretty looks, it would be a whole other story.
The original may be comfortably twice as old as me, but if I had £250,000 lying around I think I would buy one immediately... I want to drive it so badly!
What an amazing creation. I have loved this car since I watched Robert Duvall outrun the robocops in THX1138. This is my epitome of a race car. The sound. The look. I hope to find a place to have a track day with one.
Beau Grant Yes indeed, the future as portrayed in THX1138 had a Lola...but the Lola as portrayed has a Gas-Turbine engine making it go...The gas turbine much more now than then...is somewhat less expensive, but far more powerful. The jet-boating community that races jet-boats in Canada, has embraced gas-turbines for power...some 1,350 HP is common. Now,...put that 1,350 HP in a Lola & let's see what happens...some intense aerodynamic studies will be needed for that 300 mph.
This is my 500th time watching this!!! its a milestone for sure! this is the greatest vid on youtube or even the internet as a whole! I watch it every day, and anytime i need to feel something powerful inside myself, the love I have for this car is forever! I have never driven anything like this car but I know it is what I have been looking for all my life, it is the proverbial dragon I have been chasing, it is why I'm here in this stupid planet, I NEED this car in my life.
I chased Denny Hulme's old T70 for about a half lap at PMI in a Bocar once. In the tight stuff I could hang, but not once it hit a more open corner or good strait, it up and ran away. Good times indeed!
I've been wanting one all my life. Since they came out new back in 1969, this is my dream car and always will be. These things eat GT40s for lunch on the track And Ferraris too.
I mostly agree but an even better example of American power and European chassis is the Bizzarini A3C: Italian styling and chassis with a Chevy 327 cu in V8 engine, first in class at the 1965 24h du Le Mans in the 5000+ cc class. That to me just screams greatness. However, the Ford GT40 was loosely based on the Lola Mk6 so there is a bit of British chassis history in America's greatest endurance race car.
coenijn the gt40 was a British car with a British built American engine, like the t70. only the ford mk4 was American and that wasn't a gt40, it was a completely different car.
I rode from Danbury CT, to a train station in NY in a blue T70. If you dig a little you can probably figure out who the owner is. One of the automotive highlights of my life.
Great video, awesome car. I could do without the bumper-cam completely, I find the other cameras so much more immersing and informative. Every time it switched to the bumper cam I was disappointed that I couldn't see the driver input.
At 2:50 "but not be worrying about the age of any of the components, and thinking Is this about to break?" According to legend, if you were racing a brand-new Lotus in the 1960/70's, you would be right to worry about what was about to break! I get the feeling you could hammer an original fifty year old Lola with greater peace of mind. 😉
They were built using the actual original moulds used to build the lola t70. The quality and attention to period-correct detail is such that the FIA classify these as "classic" and allow them to race in officially-sanctioned events against T70s, GT40s and other cars from the era. As an aside, Broadley Automotive also take their name from the founder/creator of Lola, Eric Broadley.
Literally tears welled up in my eyes. What a beautiful machine.
I hear ya Bro.
That sound is why I go to the Goodwood Revival.
Lap after lap, wave after wave of thunderous anger and guttural roar. It's intoxicating.
***** They sounded monstrous at the Members' Meeting too... but I really can't wait to hear Neville Swales' XJ13 howl over the V8 thunder...

I couldn't agree more. Thanks.
Dave M I
Their faster, but what's really driving the car?
God love that Lola T70! crude! rude! loud!Angry! Awesome!
Almost crying for the passion.
When done like this, it's more of a continuation than a recreation. Love it :)
Finally! This is the one I was waiting for! Amazing machine
The original may be comfortably twice as old as me, but if I had £250,000 lying around I think I would buy one immediately... I want to drive it so badly!
+gilburtgtr you probably meant to say that you "want to drive it so broadley!" badum tsss
One of the most beautifully designed race cars of all time.....a masterpiece!
Awsome racecar....thankyou for creating it...😆 I want to race one at Bathurst in Australia. G'day mates.
That would sound great around Bathurst, 👍.
I love the sound of straight cut gears.
What an amazing creation. I have loved this car since I watched Robert Duvall outrun the robocops in THX1138. This is my epitome of a race car. The sound. The look. I hope to find a place to have a track day with one.

Life is just not fair ...
I NEED ONE!
This is my 500th time watching this!!! its a milestone for sure! this is the greatest vid on youtube or even the internet as a whole!

Damn that car sounds good. What a beast, and one of the best looking cars ever made. The first time I saw one was on that film in the tunnel
Been waiting for this since EVO started posting the onboard videos! Brilliant!
+EVO ive waiting for this since when you posted track car of the year 2015 thank you so so much!!!!!!
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!
I chased Denny Hulme's old T70 for about a half lap at PMI in a Bocar once. In the tight stuff I could hang, but not once it hit a more open corner or good strait, it up and ran away. Good times indeed!
Jaw dropping beautiful and the performance to boot.
I need one right now, like more than any of those "hybrid" supercars.
Me Too ! ! !
I've been wanting one all my life. Since they came out new back in 1969, this is my dream car and always will be. These things eat GT40s for lunch on the track And Ferraris too.
Thanks Evo, I think everyone was waiting for this vid!
What a car.
British chassis and American power, how the world should be! :D
Totally! Now prepare for people complaining about British chassis and American engines.
+Seige CJ this, the ford GT40, the AC/Shelby cobra, all excellent cars, just a magical combination.
I mostly agree but an even better example of American power and European chassis is the Bizzarini A3C: Italian styling and chassis with a Chevy 327 cu in V8 engine, first in class at the 1965 24h du Le Mans in the 5000+ cc class. That to me just screams greatness.

and RXC in the name.
I rode from Danbury CT, to a train station in NY in a blue T70. If you dig a little you can probably figure out who the owner is. One of the automotive highlights of my life.
Just more prof that I was born in the wrong place at the wrong time. I absolutly love this car. Thanks.
Awesome youtube recommendation, this is one of my favourite cars in Forza Horizon 4 haha. This beast is absolutely gorgeous.
This is just the best thing ever. I usually don't really want cars above 50k, but I really really want this. I NEED THIS
Been waiting weeks for this video.
Love it....great driving too Mr A 👍
That T76 looks like a handful!
Great video, awesome car.
I could do without the bumper-cam completely, I find the other cameras so much more immersing and informative. Every time it switched to the bumper cam I was disappointed that I couldn't see the driver input.
Damn this guy is strong while he is talking for his passion
Thank you EVO....again.
God damn, this car is converging to perfection.
what an amazing sound, reminds me of an old formula 5000
That looks gorgeous.
Perfection... Absolute perfection.
He threw that beast around.Pure 60's/70's magic.Todays motor sport is tame in comparison.
Love this car, l love the sound of it , Could somebody tell me what's the name of music played in the background !! Thanks EVO .
The music is by Broadley, the track is T76 xD
Daru....... no, no I can't bring myself to say it
Lol I Tried Shazam app , but it didn't work with this one though .
Thomas Clisen Yeah it might be some stock royalty-free music. It is nice though.
Absolutely I agree with you mate :)
Wow that's what i'm talking about ! Pure racing :D
Any chance of a video of the full lap from the POV camera? I think that would be quite a sight...
What is the background music! please EVO
what I would give for a lap in this masterpiece!
One of the best looking cars
Wow. That is proper raw.
i know if i have to ask then its not for me... but how much is something out of their workshop start at??
Petrolicious style review, which is good.
R.I.P Eric Broadley...
This type is my favorite kind of race car. I wish I could see them racing in the U.S. W/these
That car is almost perfect 👍
Gods that would scare me the first drive, but then you'd just keep going back for more!
Those big tall front fenders get their styling from the Jaguar XKSS D type.
What engine as in this? 350 Chevy? Sounds amazing!
Sitting in the drivers seat, looking up at the front fenders lol
oh god i love the way he describe it !
What a machine, fantastic!
Very impressive machine !
what is the music used in the background of this video?
And where's the super Porshe 918??

Forget every hypercar. If you want to have fun in a car on track, you buy this.
Can it be road registered?
legend
Just shy of modern super cars in numbers, but so much more visceral.
V8?
damn that is fast! congrats
why is he crying? or he just blazed OG before the show?
You know this car means business when the driver's seat is held together with what looks like duct tape.
mind blowing
Is that Darios' brother?
That is just so damn cool!!!
IT SOUND like a Can Am,they race too in the late serie
Nice vid,beautiul car.
Why Vettel shaved his hair?
Still haven´t figured out how i will buy this car... But i really need one before i die
The gt40 blueprint.
Awesome!
It looks like if you're not super fit, 2 laps in that beast would knacker you out completely.
i would love to have one but maybe with 350hp. that would still be scary fast
Who needs computers when a slide rule produced cars like these,
Cristo, che sound!
I hope the new C8 corvette sounds like this.
soooo great!!
fuckn the rear tires are scary wide i though my 305 are wide on my vett
YESSS. FINALLY
That noise!!!
lovely
so beautiful as Ferrari 330 P4 and 512 M .
What fucking engine? How much Hp at what rpm range? Is limited to 5 liter still?
LIMITED!?!? why the fuck would you want anything bigger than that? It would just ruin the balance of the car if you put a bigger engine in.
***** To have a big engine is fascinating to drive, a small block has the same weight up to 7,4 L so why not?
***** What's the biggest engine you drove?
Magic
I want one!
i would love to have it than any car in the world
The reason I was looking for to find myself a third job.
Who is the person who didn't like this?!?
Aaaaand now I can't stand up
Flagged this video as pornography
That is one sexy beast.
That moment when you realise... THIS CAR LOOKS LIKE A FERRARI P4/5
Or a ferrari p3
+BronyOfTruth Legendary but it looks like a lola t70 ?

awesome car but i would rather have a 512M

Not the good car to carry your loving one to restaurant.
