Lotus-Radford Type 62-2

The firm engaged in other endeavours such as building the fibreglass bodywork for the first Ford GT40 prototype, shooting brake conversions for Aston Martin DB5s, and customising Minis.

Significant use of carbon composites in the body panels alongside lightweight bonded and riveted aluminium bring the dry weight of the 62-2 to just under 1,000 kg (2,205 lb).

[7][8][9][1][10] The interior of the Type 62-2 is largely analogue; the dashboard is outfitted with a stopwatch and an analog clock in partnership with British watchmaker Bremont, various toggle switches also adorn it, and the steering wheel is devoid of any buttons.

Digital connectivity is still provided by a build plaque (which contains the vehicle identifier unique to every chassis), which doubles as a magnetic phone holder/wireless charger, along with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities.

[16][6][12][5] Coilover springs provide the Type 62-2's ride height control, with all four dampers being individually adjustable, along with a nose lift option to negotiate raised surfaces such as speed bumps.

The John Player Special also has the option of carbon fibre wheels like the Quali Edition package for the Gold Leaf, along with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres.
