Lotus, as you well know, has a long history with Indy-style open-wheel racing, dating back to the early 1960s. Its exploits include a victory by Jim Clark in 1965 and the all-wheel-drive, turbine-powered cars that arrived a few years later. <\/p>\n<p>A few weeks ago, Lotus announced a revival of its cooperation with Cosworth for both road and race cars. The new collaboration with KV is described as being both technical and commercial. It&#8217;s not clear at this point what Cosworth will contribute from a technical perspective, since all the current IndyCars run <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/make\/honda\/\">Honda V8s<\/a>. Perhaps KV will provide a platform upon which Cosworth can test and develop a new engine for the next-generation IndyCar regulations that are in the works.<\/p>\n<p>The green and yellow Lotus\/Cosworth-badged car will debut in two weeks at the St. Petersburg, Florida race with ex-Honda F1 pilot Takuma Sato at the controls. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/lotus-cosworth-indycar\/low\/\">Lotus Cosworth IndyCar<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/lotus-cosworth-indycar\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/lotus-cosworh-indycar-series-2010-rendering-low-res_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/lotus-cosworth-indycar\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/lotus-indy-500-team-picture-1965-low-res-for-editorial-use-only-credit-to-ims-photo_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/lotus-cosworth-indycar\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/jim-clark-type-38-at-indy-1965-low-res-for-editorial-use-only-credit-to-ims-photo_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n[Source: Lotus]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/03\/13\/officially-official-lotus-and-cosworth-back-in-the-indycar-seri\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>Officially Official: Lotus, Cosworth back in the IndyCar series<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/03\/13\/officially-official-lotus-and-cosworth-back-in-the-indycar-seri\/\">Officially Official: Lotus, Cosworth back in the IndyCar series<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Sat, 13 Mar 2010 17:33:00 EST.
