The Lotus Cortina, produced from 1963 to 1966, is one of the most iconic British performance cars of the 1960s. A collaboration between Lotus and Ford, the Lotus Cortina combined the practicality of a family sedan with the performance enhancements that Lotus is famous for, resulting in a true sleeper car with remarkable handling and speed for its time.
Powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, the Lotus Cortina was capable of producing 105 horsepower, which allowed it to reach a top speed of around 100 mph. Its lightweight construction, upgraded suspension, and improved braking system made the Lotus Cortina a favorite among motorsport enthusiasts, particularly in rally racing.
