Batmobile Lola

Any ideas on how to improve the looks of this car ?

Johan · 03-21-09, 11:44 AM

I have tried to add some T70 headlights.

Johan · 03-21-09, 12:02 PM

Any ideas ? The wooden boat thing looks good but sort of Chitty chitty bang bang

Molleur · 03-21-09, 12:04 PM

Add the SL-C front clip!

Johan · 03-21-09, 12:09 PM

But keep the boat, right ?

Take the bodywork from a Lola T 92

Ahhh, one of my all time favorites. Alas, such a change would entail too many structural modificaions. I can only change small details like lights or additions of small details. For instance, I could add the scoop.

I like the headlight change, but you need to add some grille bars to that Cord hood section

Johan · 03-21-09, 01:23 PM

That is a middle headlight but maybe I could make it steer with the wheels.

Randy V · 03-21-09, 03:32 PM

Put a paint job on it...

I would use med/dark blue body and bright yellow wheels and stripes!

The T92 is supposedly sold to germany (about 150 km away from my place).
Will try to get a visit there.

I think the middle ridge should 'flow' down like the outside ones, possibly almost to a point before merging into the main body.

Johan · 03-23-09, 10:47 AM

It serves a purpose. It cuts the air like the bow of a boat cuts the water making the airflow go right and left instead of up over the car. This is so effective that the car needs no windshield. I have asked Lola to build a nose with the T70 MK 3b Headlights though and we shall see what that looks like. Regarding paint, if the car gets scratched up a bit paint is the solution, but until then the bare carbon will have to do. The paint money is being spent on the engine.

Johan · 03-23-09, 10:50 AM

This is what the car looks like painted

Was that chassis/body used for the LMP Cadillac?

Johan · 03-23-09, 12:15 PM

Not sure ...

Fran Hall RCR · 03-23-09, 02:00 PM

Riley and Scott did the Cadillac chassis...

RJB · 03-26-09, 12:58 PM

Is that Jackie Stewart's 1966 Indianapolis Lola in the background?

Johan · 04-22-09, 12:46 PM

yes...

I LOVE GT40- Paolo · 04-25-09, 06:06 PM

Sell it and buy a Ferrari/Dallara 333sp.

Nicest, faster, red and italian.
There is one wonderful up to appennino (U have to drive 50 km up to mountains..over a road similar to the pikes peak, but with Nordschleife appeal and sunny italian weather and temperature).
Then u stop in any local "ristorante",where u will discover spaghetti bolognaise and fettucine alfredo really do not exist here,drink some real italian wine (nobody will give u water or beer there),talk to people that surely will be happy to meet u, then move to the local Maserati/ferrari dealer of Cesena (there is only one, so small and nice place..) and try offer at least 1 million dollar for the last sport prototype done by our mafiosi-no longer winning from Maranello.

all this is always IMHO..

Just kidding Johan,u know..but the 333sp is in that place for real, surely for sale.
