Der Lotus 17 war ein zweisitziger Rennsportwagen, der von Lotus ab März 1959 als Nachfolger des legendären Lotus XI gebaut wurde.
, The Lotus 17 was a sports car racing model … The Lotus 17 was a sports car racing model built by Lotus Cars in 1959. Designed by Len Terry, it was built in response to the Lola Mk1 which was dominant against the previous Lotus model, the Eleven. It was replaced in 1960 by the Lotus 19. The Lotus 17 was Chapman's answer to the Lola Mk 1, which by late 1958, was beating the venerable (but by then a good few years old) Eleven with monotonous regularity. The Lola was smaller and lighter than the Eleven, and so Chapman's riposte was even smaller, even lighter, even more aerodynamic. It was designed by Len Terry based on Chapman's ideas and it incorporated a number of new features, although in fact was the last front-engined sports racing car Lotus made. Its rear suspension was the Chapman strut, first used on the single seat Lotus Twelve, the Elite Coupe and the Lotus 15. Its front suspension was novel for a sport-racing car as it used the Chapman-modified MacPherson strut suspension first seen on the Ford Consul in 1952, and was very light. It was Lotus's first glass fibre-bodied sports racing car (although the Works Elevens had fibreglass bodies in 1958), had a very low frontal area and the lightest weight of any multi-seat production Lotus ever made. The declared (albeit dry) weight was 340 kg (750lb). (17s nowadays struggle to get below a wet 400 kg (880lb)). It should have been a very effective weapon. But at its first race in early April 1959, it became apparent that the handling was flawed, with the front struts bending and binding under racing loads. By the time the problem had been identified and rectified by the substitution of the front struts by more conventional wishbones (which was subsequently offered as a factory modification to all 17 owners), it was all too late and racing had moved on. Only 21 cars were actually produced. Of these, about a dozen exist today, and it is only now, in modern historic racing where two cars race in Europe and two in the US, that their potential is being realised. Engine-wise, 17s ran in period with all the small capacity Coventry Climax options, 742 cc FWMA (as in the works 1959 Le Mans entries, which were going very well in class until electrical problems forced their retirement), 1,098 cc FWA (the normal small capacity racing class of the day), 1,216 cc FWE and (in North America) 1460cc. Nowadays, they usually run with the 1,216 cc FWE engine, although the US cars now usually run with the 1460 cc FWB.cars now usually run with the 1460 cc FWB.

, La Lotus 17 est une voiture de piste conçu … La Lotus 17 est une voiture de piste conçue par le constructeur britannique Lotus en 1959 pour les épreuves d'endurance et de sprint en petites cylindrées. Évolution de la Lotus 15 (qui courait en grosses cylindrées), elle prend la suite de la Lotus Eleven sur les circuits. Elle sera remplacée par la Lotus 23. La Lotus 17 a un châssis en treillis de tubes acier recouvert d'une fine carrosserie en aluminium et en fibre de verre. Le moteur est disposé à l'avant, les roues arrière étant motrices. La Lotus 17 eut un succès moyen du fait d'un manque de mise au point de ses premiers exemplaires. La suspension avant améliorée permit de la rendre compétitive. Elle est souvent considérée comme ayant une des carrosseries les plus élégantes du constructeur.
