The Lotus 92 was a Formula One racing car designed by Martin Ogilvie with Team Lotus founder Colin Chapman before Chapman died in December 1982, and used by Lotus in the first part of the 1983 season. Nigel Mansell drove it regularly and Elio de Angelis drove it in one race, the 1983 Brazilian Grand Prix, where a switch from his Renault-engined Lotus 93T led to his disqualification. Its best result was sixth place for Mansell in the Detroit Grand Prix. It was the last non-turbo car Lotus designed and raced until turbo engines were banned from 1989, the last Lotus to carry the Cosworth DFY V8 engine, and the first Lotus to use active suspension, which gave much trouble.
