Several other race cars seen in this episode, but they look to be all the same design with different color schemes. (They are at the Monaco Grand Prix when they have to chase a suspect who steals a race car, then they all 3 steal race cars and chase him). Lana's car seen above is wearing a very familiar livery (Herbie!!). |

Looks a fairly generic 1964-66 F1 design, nicely observed with a V8 like the 1.5 litre Coventry Climax engine used by lots of teams. Could even be a 1967 Cosworth 3 litre V8 or similar, but cars started getting aeodynamic trim/wings for 68 onwards. And drivers started getting proper helmets by then, as well as covering their cleavages with overalls. |

Yeah It's most definitely a Lotus 49 with the Cosworth DFV, the exhausts and velocity stacks give it away, so does the bulge at the front suspension. (and the suspension geometry/components themselves.) |
