The Lotus 33 was a Formula One car designed by Colin Chapman and Len Terry and built by Team Lotus as a development of the successful Lotus 25. It kept the monocoque chassis and the 1500 cc Climax engine, but its suspension was designed around newer, wider tyres, and it was more rigid and simpler to build than the 25. Six were constructed, and one chassis was modified for the stillborn Climax flat-16 engine and designated the Lotus 39. Introduced for 1964, it came good in 1965, when Jim Clark won five World Championship Grands Prix in it on his way to his second championship. Privateer teams ran it until the 1967 Canadian Grand Prix, and Clark also won the 1967 Tasman Series with it.
