The Lotus 91 was the car Team Lotus used in the 1982 Formula One season, designed by Colin Chapman, Martin Ogilvie and Tony Rudd. After several experimental seasons Chapman went back to basics, basing it partly on the Williams FW07 and Lotus's own 88 and powering it with the Ford Cosworth DFV and a Hewland gearbox. It was the first Lotus chassis to use carbon brakes and was built of carbon fibre and Kevlar, making it among the first Formula One cars of that material. It was pitch sensitive and tricky to drive, but Elio de Angelis won the Austrian Grand Prix on the last lap against Keke Rosberg and Lotus finished fifth in the constructors' standings. The Lotus 92 was based on it.
