The Lotus 49 is an open-wheeled formula race car campaigned by Team Lotus for the 1967 Formula One Season. Designed by Maurice Philippe under Colin Chapman, the 49 was a follow up design to the previous 43, noted to be extremely unreliable. The 49 was powered by the 3.0L Ford-Cosworth DFV V8; it was the first Formula One car to use this engine, which was built as a stressed member of the car's chassis. Driven by two-time champion Jim Clark and 1962 champion Graham Hill, the car won on its debut with Clark winning the 1967 Dutch Grand Prix; the car would continue to be upgraded and race until 1970, winning a total of 12 races.
