High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Lotus 12 was an unsuccessful Formula Two and Formula One racing car. Colin Chapman's first foray into single-seater racing, the 12 appeared in 1957. It featured a number of important innovations Chapman would use on later models. To better use the power of the Coventry Climax engine, it was designed, as usual, for low weight and low drag, relying on space frame. It placed the driver as low as possible, eliminating the transmission tunnel by way of a "conceptually brilliant"[1] five-speed indirect gearbox designed by Richard Ansdale and Harry Mundy, which suffered from a (long- undiagnosed) problem of slinging oil away from its gears. It also introduced a rear suspension with what came to be called "Chapman struts", essentially a MacPherson strut with universal joints as suspension pieces. This was well suited to a monocoque body, and may have inspired Chapman, always obsessed with reducing weight, to try it.
