Description
VERY RARE for collectors less than 100 of each Livery the The Lola T280- WORLD RACE ENDURANCE 2025 24 Hour Special Limited Edition. The Lola T280- T290 series is a series of competition cars built by Lola Racing Cars in the 1970s, fielded in prototype sports car championships starting in 1972 in the 3.0-liter and 2.0-liter classes, respectively.
The version dedicated to Group 6 competitions, namely the Lola T280, boasted a 3,000-cfm engine capable of producing 450 horsepower in a car weighing only 600 kg, equipped with an aluminum monocoque chassis and fibreglass body.
Victory at the 4 Hours of Le Mans in March 1972 showed the T280's potential ahead of the more prestigious 24 Hours to be held in June, where Jo Bonnier himself was involved in a fatal accident in the morning during a lapping phase while in third position.
The 1/32 scale replica from NSR, was made with the aim of positioning itself at the top of the "Classic" category.
The various innovative and technological solutions employed in the 1/32 scale replica from NSR, allow the Lola T280/290 to position itself at the top of the Classic category, achieving a perfect combination of performance and history.
The Lola T280/290 is in Sidewinder configuration and equipped with the standard components of the classic range.
The Lola's chassis has been completely redesigned.
The structure has modified ribs, which allow for better chassis flexing and a 20 percent weight savings, providing better performance.
The bellies and front end have been emptied while retaining cross bars, to facilitate the possible placement of additional ballasts.
The rear frame structure has been resized and strengthened, ensuring better cornering behaviour.
The frame has been completely redesigned in the area of contact with the motor mount, reducing transverse movement and increasing the smoothness of the frame.
For the first time on a classic model, all the weight of the body is discharged evenly around the perimeter of the chassis.
Both the nose and the bellies are in fact constantly in contact with the chassis.
This solution also allows for the widest chassis in the classic range (62mm width of the Lola bellies versus 58mm for the Porsche 908)
The flexibility of the body has increased exponentially, thanks to the strategic attachment system of components and the meticulous design of the body itself.
The weight of the complete and painted Lola body is only 13 grams in race-ready configuration and in "short tail" version.
Shapes, dimensions, and Lola's center of gravity ensure flawless performance.
In the above image you can see (in blue) how the Lola T280/290 is significantly lower than its direct competitor and already very fast Porsche 908 NSR.
The Lola T280/290 participated in iconic races in the 1970s over the years, such as the 24h of Le Mans, the Targa Florio, Daytona, and many more.
Scale appeal in the Execution of the liveries, combined with the quality of Italian production, makes the NSR home replica a real gem even from a purely modelling point of view.
The studies and technical developments brought to the Lola T280/290, transform a vintage model into an extreme competition slotcar; born and made to WIN in the most important competitions in the Classic category.
