Lotus 72 – Photo of the Day

Would you believe this beautiful shot isn’t actually a photo? Neither did we! The stunning Lotus 72 has never looked better.

Designed by Colin Chapman for the 1970 Formula One season, and now re-designed by digital artist and CGI master Pedro Duarte of Portugal. The image depicts the JPS Lotus 72 sitting on the tarmac, perhaps a tribute to the 72D Emerson Fittipaldi drove to the 1972 Formula One World Championship.
