The Lola T93/00 is a highly successful open-wheel racing car chassis, designed and built by Lola Cars that competed in the CART open-wheel racing series, for competition in the 1993 season. It was extremely competitive, winning 8 races that season, including a win for rookie Nigel Mansell on debut in Australia. It also gave teammate Mario Andretti a win, as well as giving Al Unser Jr. and Danny Sullivan a win each. It was mainly powered by the 800–850 hp (600–630 kW) Ford/Cosworth XB turbo engine. It powered Nigel Mansell to his maiden first and only IndyCar World Championship. [1] [2] [3] [4]
