Lotus 7 art
Only post-war enthusiasm can create an engineering piece like the Lotus 7. The years of fierce competition between the two battling alliances in WWII are an excellent ground for technological advancement. The car is certainly among the most significant examples of consumer products that exist because of this newly found craftmanship.
This Lotus 7 art poster presents a remarkable car
Lotus 7 is a British gentleman essential. It is both a club track racer and a road-going car. Combine it with a vintage helmet and a check suit and you get the ultimate British motoring experience. But it is not only the Britishness that makes the car spectacular. It is the fact that this car is still in production today with the same design and engineering model.
In the '70s Britain joins the European Economic Community. The country has to stop the tax evasion for unassembled cars that come in boxes. This is a significant market for Lotus 7 and they have to sell its production licenses to one of their dealers - Caterham Cars. They still produce the car today, more than 60 years later.
Back in the 50's the British launch the Lotus 7 with 1,2-litre Ford engine capable of 40 hp. It is good enough for acceleration time of more than 16 seconds. This is how fast amateur motorsport is back in the days! Sure, the car has lots of technical improvements. Today, Caterham can sell you a Lotus 7 485 that accelerates from zero to 62 miles in 3.4 seconds.
Now you can get the full British experience designed by Collin Chapman by ordering this lovely Lotus 7 art print by artist Artem Halko.
