Hey Visio, for the zr1 corvette, there are models that had upwards of 410 hp out of the factory. There were two different models of head that those came with. I have a 1995 zr1 with 410 hp from the factory, mainly because they got more power out of it through the later years, and there was a shortage of Dunn heads in 1995 which forced them to get another head manufactured. The new head gave the motor a better air to fuel mixture resulting in more power. Also, the top speed is 192 mph.

Just thought I'd throw it out there for you, some food for thought!

Love this channel. Very well yet briefly descripted facts, great videos used as example and not shitey music during videos like some people use. Just 100% pure car appreciation!

[joannaatkins]

Great video as usual! I'm a big fan of these types of "look at who helped with this" videos :D

[ImInLoveWithBulla]

Asking Lotus, the legendary chassis designer to build you an engine is a bit like asking Gordon Ramsay to design you a shoe. Lotus didn't gain their reputation off their engines! They just asked Cosworth!

[Mytim]

You feed the geek in all of us and I like you for that. Very interesting and I knew half of them were but not the other half. Keep up the good work vr..

[betterdanurhomi]

Ahh the memories of need for speed hot pursuit 2. That was a nice add in there!

[VisioRacer]

Who almost fell off his chair hearing the Corvette? I was very close to that.

[nasimwehbe]

Love your videos!!!! Here is one you forgot though. The Isuzu I-Mark Turbo with handling by Lotus.

[Lonespark]

You missed one. The Isuzu Impulse.

"General Motors, who owned nearly half of Isuzu, also owned Lotus Cars at the time. Lotus selected the 1.6 L engine and transmission from the Isuzu Gemini for the Lotus Elan M100 and a following generation of that engine eventually ended up in the Impulse. Lotus was subcontracted by Isuzu to fine-tune the suspension of the Impulse, through selection of stiffer dampers, larger sway bars, and softer springs. All of the second generation Impulses had the Lotus-tuned suspension."

Vauxhall Lotus Carlton and Vauxhall VX220 are awesome cars!

[MatchesMalone]

Hey Visio, as a car nerd, the majority of the videos you make contain information that i already know, although i still watch them as they always entertain me.
This video however was a revelation!
Good job man! Keep up the good work.
p.s. more engine videos please!!!!

[KretinoSantino]

I really didn't know Lotus did help developing Lotus Omega or Lotus Cortina how surprising.
And who would have thought that Lotus Elise with Opel engine and body have something to do with Lotus.
And who would have thought that car (Sunbeam) famous only for it's Lotus engine would have Lotus engine.

[bugattiincroyable]

Only God know how much I love the Lotus Cortina !

[HotHeadCJ]

Do one on cosworth engineered vehicles

[CJColvin]

Man that LT5 Corvette motor sounds amazing the Lotus engineers did an outstanding job with this engine. Now that's a corvette motor.

[Geforcefly]

3 more cars that had Lotus involvement were the Isuzu Impulse (or Stylus?), Gen 1 Toyota MR2, and the Tesla Roadster

[Lix]

Hey dude, great video as always!!! You have missed a few out though, whether you were trying to get them all or not i dont know. My Vauxhall Astra GSI 1996 also has some lotus bits on as standard with no mention of it anywhere.. The cylinder head and valve set-up being one.

[BoloH.]

What makes that Talbot really stand out that it's a hot hatch with RWD. Fun!

[ratlife]

great vids, but id suggest making the font on your captions a larger size

[MCMonsterbuilder]

So thats why the C4 ZR1 Corvette has DOHC and 32Valves, it's totally not chevy's style to do something like this. So naturally I was wondering how something like this happened.
