2009 Lola B09/60

The record of Lola’s current generation of sportscars – including LMP2 class wins at Le Mans
for the last three years in a row – underscores the company’s skill in creating the right package for endurance racing. Results in LMP1 and LMP2 on both sides of the Atlantic have confirmed Lola as the fastest and most reliable customer chassis.

For 2009, Lola have taken another step forward with our new LMP1 coupe model, which claimed a stunning third place in its debut race. The first customer car of its type, the B09/60 allows privateers to take advantage of the coupe format’s potential in a package built around proven components and design features.

Lola teams are invited to make use of our F1-standard wind tunnel, 7-post test rig, and other
state-of-the-art facilities to undertake bespoke development programmes. Lola’s resources are also available to support manufacturer chassis and/or engine programmes and to customers considering alternative fuel and powertrain systems.

Outstanding performance, driveability, and consistency combined with superior engineering,
serviceability, and quality make Lola – now more than ever – the right choice for independent entrants targeting sportscar success.
