Lola Cars International Ltd. was a racing car engineering company founded in 1958 by Eric Broadley and based in Huntingdon, England. For more than fifty years, Lola was one of the oldest and largest manufacturers of purpose built cars in the world.
Lola Cars started by building small front-engine sports cars, and eventually branched out into Formula Junior race cars before diversifying into a wider range of sporting vehicles.
It is believed that there were between five and seven Lola T222's built, depending on the source.
Weighing in at a mere 1,750 pounds, there is no doubt that it is indeed an intimidating beast on the track. The big block Chevrolet engine produces nearly 900 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful CanAm racers of the era.
This multiple race winner has been returned to its original race spec trim. It is a truly prime example of one of the most sought after and powerful CanAm cars ever to come out of the Lola Cars International Ltd. facilities.
