Lotus Mk.VI: UPE 9<\/strong><\/p>\nThe editors attribute considerable credit to this car and the early establishment of the Lotus reputation and mystique. This car and its driver dominated a season and wiped the board often against much more expensive and sophisticated machinery.<\/p>\n
Admittedly UPE 9 was possibly built to a very high specification with components and details not incorporated in the more mainstream Ford 1172 cars.<\/p>\n
Possibly much of the success of UPE 9 could be attributed to its specially prepared MG engine.<\/p>\n
Later Chapman would use the MG engine in the Lotus Mk.VIII<\/p>\n
He gave this car an extraordinarily aerodynamic body designed by Costin in order the limitations of a mass-produced engine could be compensated for.<\/p>\n
