The Lola LC89 is a Formula One car that Lola founder Eric Broadley designed and the Larrousse team raced in the 1989 season. It was powered by the 3.5 litre Lamborghini 3512 V12, the engine drawn up by the former Ferrari designer Mauro Forghieri, and it made its debut in round two of the year at the 1989 San Marino Grand Prix. The chassis was quick and its aerodynamics were good, but the Lamborghini engine proved generally unreliable, so the car and engine combination scored only one point, when Philippe Alliot finished sixth in the Spanish Grand Prix. Drivers of the car included Alliot, Aguri Suzuki and Michele Alboreto. It was updated as the LC89B for the first two races of 1990 and then replaced by the Lola LC90, and an example is displayed at the Lamborghini museum.
