CAR COUNTRY

How common are these cars in the USA?

I’ve been informed in the past that Nissan Skylines are rather rare in the USA, so I figured that I’d better check up on some other cars before including them in a story set in the US.

i see a lot of nissan 350z’s and ford mustang cobra’s on the road in south carolina

Lotus 22 $54.86 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Lotus 22 was a racing car built by Lotus cars in 1962 and a total of 77 cars were built. It was developed from the 1962 Lotus 20, with the major differences that it had disk brakes all round, had a top link to the rear suspension, and had a dry sump engine that was canted over to lower the centre of gravity. The 22 is a single seat race car primarily for the Formula Junior series and most had a 1098 cc Cosworth MAE engine with about 100 hp (70 kW). However, 7 of the Lotus 22s built were sold with the then newly introduced 1500 cc Lotus TwinCam engine then powering the just introduced Lotus Elan sports car, but these were ineligible for Formula Junior. The 22 was very successful and the works car driven by Peter Arundell won nearly 75 of the races for the FIA Formula Junior European championship in 1962. The car was also successful in 1963, the final year of FJr, and up against the new Lotus 27, a full monocoque car, the 22 won several races early in the season before the stiffness problems that plagued the 27 were solved.

Lotus Carlton $81.25 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Lotus Carlton (in mainland Europe, the Lotus Omega) was a Vauxhall Carlton saloon upgraded by Lotus Cars to be a 177 mph (285 km/h) sports car. Like all Lotus vehicles, it was given a type designation Type 104 in this case. The external differences were minimal to the five seater with only the rear spoiler, air intakes on the bonnet, Lotus badges on the front wings and bootlid, and considerably wider wheel arches telling it apart from any other Carlton. The car was only sold in one colour, a shade of British racing green called Imperial Green, a very dark green that in anything but direct light appears black. Lotus modifications started with an upgraded engine, which was stroked from the standard Vauxhall 2969 cc 24v straight six unit, used in the GSi, to a capacity of 3615 cc. Lotus then added twin Garrett T25 turbochargers to give 377 hp (281 kW).

Lotus Eclat $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Type 76 and Type 84 Lotus Eclat, built from 1974 to 1982, was a front engine rear drive coupe. It was based on the Lotus Elite but had a fastback body style which offered more practicality with storage in the boot (trunk). The Eclat Series 1 (19741980) used a 1973 cc 160 hp (120 kW) Lotus 907 Slant Four engine. Later cars (19801982) used a larger 2174 cc Lotus 912 engine, however, because of emission regulations modifications it still only produced 160 hp (120 kW). Both were versions of the Lotus 907 engine series, which was also used in naturally aspirated and turbo charged versions in the Lotus Esprit. The car was priced at 28,400 in 1979, which was almost as much as a MercedesBenz 450 SL (28,687). The original mild steel chassis fitted by Lotus supported the glassfibre body at the rear by sandwiching a strip of felt, which fitted between body and the steel crossmember of the chassis. In damp climates, the felt became a water trap and caused structural corrosion, resulting in a crumbling rear chassis.

Lotus 19 $78.07 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Lotus 19 or Monte Carlo was a midengine sports racing car designed by Colin Chapman of Lotus and built from 1960 until 1963. The 19 was a widened (nominally twoplace) version of the successful Formula One 18. The 19 was a midengine, rear wheel drive sports racer with a fiberglass body over a tube frame based on the 18, and was originally fitted with a 2496 cc Coventry Climax engine. The cars body was similar in appearance to both the 11 and the 23 while having the engine behind the driver. Chapman named the car Monte Carlo to honor Stirling Moss for his win at the 1960 Monaco Grand Prix, Lotus first in F1. This is said to mimic Coopers naming of the Cooper Monaco after a win with their Formula One car at Monaco in 1958. Towards the end of 1963, Dan Gurney, who had enjoyed considerable success at the wheel of the Arciero Brothers Lotus 19Climax, had another Lotus 19 built with a King Cobra Ford 289 engine.

Lotus 23 $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Lotus 23 was designed by Colin Chapman as a smalldisplacement sports racing car. Nominally a twoseater (to comply with formula rules), it was a purposebuilt for racing with a driver alone. The 23 used a wider version of the Lotus 20 space frame, with the same suspension, clothed in a fibreglass body. Originally intended for engines of 750 cc to 1300 cc (4580ci), the revised 23B had stronger chassis tubes to take the torque of Fordbased 1.5/1.6 litre Lotus Twincam power plants. The debut of the 23 was at the Nordschleife in May, 1962. The tiny 100 bhp (70 kW) Lotus 23 shot away from the field of Porsches, Aston Martins and Ferraris with Jim Clark at the wheel. Even though some cars had four times the power of the Lotus, after the first lap, in the wet, Clark was 27 seconds ahead of Dan Gurneys Porsche. Extending his lead on each lap until the track dried, Clark was overcome by exhaust fumes from a damaged exhaust manifold on lap 12 and was forced to retire.

Lotus 49 $71.7 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Lotus 49 was a Formula One racing car designed by Colin Chapman and Maurice Philippe for the 1967 F1 season. It was designed around the Cosworth DFV engine that would power most of the Formula One grid through the 1970s and was the first successful Formula One car to feature the engine as a structural member. Jim Clark won on the cars debut in 1967, and it would also provide him with the last win of his career in 1968. Graham Hill went on to win that years title and the car continued winning races until 1970. After a difficult first year for Lotus in the 3 litre formula, Chapman went back to the drawing board and came up with a design that was both back to basics, and a leap ahead. Taking inspiration from earlier designs, particularly the Lotus 43 and Lotus 38 Indycar, the 49 was the first F1 car to be powered by the nowfamous Ford Cosworth DFV engine after Chapman convinced Ford to build an F1 powerplant.

Lotus 43 $89.22 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Lotus 43 was a Formula One racing car designed by Colin Chapman for the 1966 season. It was partially based on the Lotus 38 Indycar, due to Chapmans experience at Indy with larger engine capacity and tyre/suspension setup. The car was designed in this way in response to new regulations which came into force in 1966, which increased the engine capacity to 3 litres. Along with newer, wider tyres better able to handle the power of the larger engines, the need for a more robust design was obvious. Chapman and Lotus made a deal for use of BRMs new H 16 engine as well as using the new tyres. The engine on paper was technically advanced and powerful, and Chapman had hopes that it would power his cars to another successful season. Alas, it was not to be. The first sign of trouble was when the new engine arrived and it required four men to lift it from the truck. The engine proved to be overweight, unreliable and was unable to produce the promised power. Jim Clark didnt score any points until mid season.

Lotus 88 $90.81 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Lotus 88 was an innovative ground effect Formula One car designed by Colin Chapman, Peter Wright, Tony Rudd and Martin Ogilvie of Lotus as a response to technical regulations introduced in 1981 by the FIA to curb the ground effects cars. By 1981 the ground effects cars were so efficient and so fast that the drivers were suffering from the tremendous gforces involved in cornering and braking. The FIA banned the moveable skirts fitted to the bottom of the cars sidepods that were vital for achieving consistent ground effect and regulated a mandatory ground clearance of 6 cm, in the interests of driver safety. The Brabham team were the first to circumvent the rules using hydropneumatic suspension systems which compressed under aerodynamic loading and lowered the Brabham BT49 onto the track. This had the side effect of rendering the car without any sort of suspension, causing the driver to be buffeted even more than before.

Lotus Europa S $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Lotus Europa S is a GT type two seater automobile designed to complement the very successful Lotus Elise sports car and its derivative, the Exige. The name is borrowed from the legendary Lotus Europa of the 1960s and 1970s.The Europa S is more relaxed than the Elise/Exige with a larger boot, greater soundproofing, and easier cabin access due to the lower chassis sides, and higher roof line.

Lotus Software $81.25 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Lotus Software (called Lotus Development Corporation before its acquisition by IBM) is a software company with headquarters in Westford, Massachusetts. Lotus is most commonly known for the Lotus 123 spreadsheet application, the first featureheavy, userfriendly, reliable and WYSIWYGenabled product to become widely available in the early days of the IBM PC, when there was no Graphical user interface. Such a useful tool certainly helped to spread the adoption of the PC, both for administrative and scientific applications. Much later, in conjunction with Ray Ozzies Iris Associates, Lotus also released a groupware and email system, Lotus Notes. IBM purchased the company in 1995 for 3.5 billion, primarily to acquire Lotus Notes and to establish a presence in the increasingly important clientserver computing segment, which was rapidly making host based products like IBMs OfficeVision obsolete.
