Jim Clark is considered one of the greatest motorbells of the 1960s, and he owes the Lotus team with victories in Formula 1. The British failed to repeat the success of 1965: after three years, he crashed to death at the Hockeyhaimring Avtodrome. In memory of the athlete in Lotus Emira, a fragment of the Scottish ornament of the Clark family is used. The front panel is also decorated with the pilot’s autograph.

Outside, you can’t confuse the special version: the car is painted in the Green Green color “Clark Racing Green” with yellow inserts. The Lotus team was similar in the 1965 season. There are other combinations in the cabin: the main color is black, but the pilot’s chair, steering wheel, central tunnel and fragments of door maps are bright red. This is a traditional design for the historical racing boards Lotus. Another branded line is a wooden handle of the gearbox selector instead of steel.

There are no changes in the technique: Lotus Emira is faithful to the atmospheric 3.5-liter V6 in conjunction with a 6-speed “mechanics” and rear-wheel drive. The Driver’s Pack package is regularly installed, so the sports suspension, the bass exhaust and the expanded set of driving modes do not require surcharges. The circulation is limited to 60 pieces, so the quotas will be meager.
