The production car is fifty times more sophisticated, and most things work. No great surprise there.
What was it about a high end sports car in the late '60s / early '70s, that made them SO INCREDIBLY EXCITING? Cars like the the Ford GT40 and the 917 and this, the early (racing) mid engine Ferraris. They were a high water mark of just how much fun a machine can be. 50 years later, they still are! Not many things made today are even close to that exhilarating.

this report sucks. they've got their info all wrong. That thing doesnt even remotely look like a t70. And him saying its not really a replica because lola never made spyders is utter bullcrap. from the start of production in 1966 the lola T70 was available as SPYDER ONLY. Later in 67 and 68 the t70 mk III and the mk IIIB where available as coupe's. But the original Lola T70 was exactly what this dickhead is saying they never made, a spyder.

all you thrashing the replica, yea its not as nice everyday but the replica is much more involving to drive, it probably is
slower round the track, not close as nice to drive everyday but it isnt
build for that either, its build to get all your senses involved, to
scare you, to make you a better driver, this car is nothing for an
amateur, where the mclaren anyone can drive.

-3: 45 Instant balding XD JK, we know it was just a shot that had to be placed. great work. loving seeing these different Lola replicas. However, when the job is done as well as I've seen these and others, I like to call them 'revisions'. Good job lads and all the production team involved, keep cranking out the amazing content; hundreds of manhours well invested.

Tweak that 'Vette engine to run closer to its full potential of around 650-700hp. Hook it up to a properly ratioed Hewland gearbox, have the chassis bump-steered and set up by a competent chassis shop. That Lola will make that McLaren cry like a baby as it gets so left behind.

That was bloody painful. Waffling on forever trying to justify both cars. Why not a lap time from both cars? I would be genuinely interested to see the difference.

-Lola didn't really make any spyders- -You got it all wrong. 1) Lola did made a spyders. 2) You tested T70 Moda, not Spyder.
