Lola T70S GT: The Icon Reborn with an Ecological Conscience
Lola Cars redefines the art of the “continuation car” with the T70S GT, a reissue that meets the environmental imperatives of the 21st century.
Much more than a neo-retro reinterpretation of the racing model from the 1960s, the Lola T70S GT has been specifically optimized for road use in the UK. Beneath its timeless silhouette lies a 6.2-liter Chevrolet V8 engine producing 500 hp.




While performance remains stunning – a 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds – Lola has added subtle modern touches to make the experience usable off the track: refined ergonomics, air conditioning, and adjustable suspension. The goal is clear: to retain the visceral DNA of the 1965 machine while offering unprecedented usability.
Lola’s Manifesto for Sustainability
The true achievement of this rebirth lies in its design. Lola manages to reduce CO₂ emissions by 54% compared to conventional manufacturing standards through groundbreaking innovations:
- “Bio” Bodywork: The T70S GT introduces the Lola Natural Composite System (LNCS). This patented material replaces fiberglass with a blend of plant fibers and basalt, bonded by a resin derived from sugarcane waste. This 100% natural composite is not only petroleum-free but also stiffer and more impact-resistant than traditional materials.
- Clean Metallurgy: Magnesium alloy parts are extracted from seawater through solar electrolysis. This process, a first in the industry, allows for a reduction in the carbon footprint of these components by up to 80%.
