The water-cooled, square-4, 2-stroke powerplant used in the RG500 was a significant gamble for…
The Lotus Type 34 would go on to become the winningest Lotus Indy car ever built, an impressive feat given that it was only the second Lotus model built to compete at the Indy 500. The early 1960s were a transitional time for the iconic American race, which was still overwhelmingly contested by somewhat antiquated…

When the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing was released in 1954, it was the fastest production car money could buy.
