Lotus Elan Type 26R racing on the beautiful Bernina Pass in Switzerland!

this is just beautiful, that little Elan is a masterpiece!

[@mondomotori9215]

well first series until 1975 was RWD, but I can't agree more, conceptually it's still one of the best little car ever made that perfectly embodies Colin Chapman's ideas.

[@mondomotori9215]

@borregoayudando1481 yes pratically, a lot of budget sports cars were inspired by the Elan in the next years

[@nickipedley5]

Gorgeous car! The driver must be loving every minute of it 😎

[@rnor3146]

Hello!💙 Sublime car, and what a sound !!!!! Many thanks for the sharing. 😉👍👌

[@EleanorPeterson]

Lovely. I bet that's fun to drive. It fits you like a T-shirt and you can almost taste the steering response.

[@rossnolan2883]

Stunning 🤩

[@robertpatrick3350]

The design team for the top half of the engine included members who went on to design one of the most successful F1 engines in history and founded a world renowned company.

I have to imagine this guys face cramped up from all the smiling he had to be doing on the way up that pass.

[@stevejepson9963]

[@zounds13]

Lucky bastard 😁

[@Ride2Xplore]

It doesn't sound like its tuned correctly at partial throttle... Nice car though!

[@JavierMeseguer]

Que fino va el Lotus

[@Druezy]

God, it is pretty!

[@miguelgarcia-vs1rv]

supremo¡

[@jcgabriel1569]

The driver definitely drove with elan...

[@mitchell-wallisforce7859]

That. Fucking. Induction. Noise.

[@mrnicktoyou]

You can get that on any car, just take out your air filter.

[@williemandowa]

This little thing sounds amazing. What motor is in it? Sounds like it’s on ITB’s.

[@lazyboxfish7113]

A lotus twin cam inline 4. Given it's a race car it's probably running Weber racing carbs so yes ITBs. Everyone always forgets about old racing engines and superbikes when they say that I4s don't sound good.

[@mochabear88]

thats pretty hot

[@joe125ful]

Dont have much power but its agile!

[@cliveyboyb5770]

Even in standard road spec 126hp because its so light at 700kg they are still impressive even by todays standards. Moderately fast on the straights and brilliant around corners
