Having won the 1963 Formula One Manufacturers' Championship, and having started a design revolution at Indianapolis, Lotus now is setting out to dominate large-capacity sports car racing. The means to this end is a long, low projectile which is fitted as standard with a 350-bhp version of the 289-cu-in Ford Fairlane V -8 engine. It should be a worthy successor to the Mark 19. Even with the cast-iron Fairlane engine, it weighs only about 1400 lbs, which gives it a power to weight ratio of around 4.0 lbs/bhp, or 5.1 lbs/bhp with driver and a full load of fuel. It is also extremely low: the height to the top of the windshield
rest type 30 story here>

The Lotus 40 was an attempt to sort out some of the problems with the Lotus 30. It had a Ford 5295cc and then a Ford 5754cc V8 engine producing between 400 and 450bhp, with a Hewland LG500 transmission. The chassis was stiffened (from the 30) and a front and rear spoiler. However the car was still as difficult to drive as the Type 30, it was known as the "Lotus 30, with 10 more mistakes.". It best result was in the West Coast series in America. Jim Clark took the Type 40 to second place at Riverside in 1966, behind Hap Sharp's Chaparral.
