The Lotus 16 was the second single-seat racing car designed by Colin Chapman, and was built by his Lotus Cars manufacturing company for the Team Lotus racing squad. The Lotus 16 was constructed to compete in both the Formula One and Formula Two categories, and was the first Lotus car to be constructed for Formula One competition. Its design carried over many technological features of the first Lotus single-seater, the Lotus 12, as well as incorporating ideas which Chapman had been developing while working on the Vanwall racing cars. Indeed, such was the visual similarity between the Vanwall and Lotus 16 designs that the Lotus was often dubbed the "mini Vanwall" by the contemporary motor sport press. Although the Lotus 16 only scored five Formula One World Championship points in the three s

  • La Lotus 16 è una monoposto con la quale la scuderia inglese Lotus ha preso parte al campionato del mondo di Formula 1. Progettata da Colin Chapman e motorizzata Coventry Climax, come il precedente tipo 12 fu creata per correre sia in Formula 1 che in Formula 2. Debuttò al Gran Premio di Francia 1958 con Graham Hill e venne utilizzata anche nelle due stagioni seguenti dalla squadra ufficiale Lotus e da piloti privati. Il miglior risultato conseguito in gara fu il quarto posto di Innes Ireland al Gran Premio d'Olanda 1959. (it)

  • Der Lotus 16 war ein Monoposto-Rennwagen der 1958 bei Lotus entwickelt und bis 1960 eingesetzt wurde. Der Lotus 16 war das Nachfolgemodell des Lotus 12 und wurde sowohl als Formel 1, als auch als Formel-2-Rennwagen konzipiert, konstruiert und gebaut. Der 16 war wie sein Vorgänger ein Frontmotor-Rennwagen, aber deutlich ovaler und in seiner Linienform eleganter als der Lotus 12. Der Wagen hatte einen leichten aber sehr fragilen Gitterrohrrahmen. Die Aufhängungen waren baugleich mit denen des Lotus 12. Der von Climax gelieferte 2-Liter-4-Zylinder-FPF-Motor war leicht geneigt eingebaut, um die Frontpartie schmal halten zu können. Die Kraftübertragung lief links entlang des Cockpits. Colin Chapman arbeitete bei der Entwurfsarbeit eng mit Frank Costin zusammen, der für die aerodynamische Alumin (de)

  • La Lotus 16 est une monoplace de Formule 1, Formule 2, la dernière du constructeur Lotus Cars avec un moteur situé à l'avant. Le châssis tubulaire en acier est recouvert d'une carrosserie aérodynamique en aluminium. Les suspensions sont indépendantes sur les quatre roues et ces dernières disposent de freins à disques. Avec la 16, Lotus Cars n'eut pas beaucoup de succès, Graham Hill et le débutant Jim Clark ne réussissant qu'une maigre sixième place en Grands Prix. En 1960, la Lotus 16 est remplacée par la Lotus 18 à moteur arrière qui marque le début du succès pour le Team Lotus. (fr)
