All 2 Ford Lotus Cortina Generations

The Mk1 Lotus Cortina's twin-cam engine came from Lotus itself. By the Mk2, Ford had taken the engine-building in-house — Colin Chapman's name stayed on the badge, his factory didn't build the heart anymore.
The original Lotus Cortina used aluminium body panels and a one-off A-frame rear suspension — but the A-frame proved so fragile that Ford quietly reverted to the standard Cortina's leaf-spring rear end.
