Formula

Usual

This car’s Lotus 77-style bodywork was originally built for the 2013 film Rush starring Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Brühl as James Hunt and Niki Lauda. Following its acquisition by a private party, the bodywork was fitted over a steel Formula Ford chassis. A Yamaha 600cc motorcycle inline-four engine was also installed and is mated to a six-speed sequential gearbox with a chain-driven rear axle. The car wears a #5 John Player Special livery, and it rides on 13″ centre-lock wheels mounted with staggered racing slicks. Additional equipment includes four-wheel disc brakes with inboard-mounted rears, coilovers, front and rear wings, side pods, a roll hoop, and a Sabelt multi-point harness. 
 
 
The Colin Chapman-designed Lotus 77 debuted at the 1976 Brazilian Grand Prix and secured one win and four further podiums by drivers Mario Andretti and Gunnar Nilsson. The replica bodywork of this example was constructed by Mirage Engineering and is styled after the number 5 car with a gold and black Lotus Formula One Team livery. Features consist of sponsorship logos including Goodyear and John Players Special as well as front and rear wings, side pods, a roll hoop, an external kill switch, and air intakes. 
 
 
Black 13″ centre-lock wheels are mounted with staggered-width Pirelli front and Avon rear tires. The car rides on a Formula Ford chassis, and the independent suspension features double wishbones up front, a rear anti-roll bar, and coilovers at each corner. Stopping power is provided by drilled four-wheel disc brakes with inboard rear rotors.
 
 
The cockpit houses a single fixed-back seat finished in black and fitted with a Sabelt multi-point harness. The shifter is oriented to the driver’s left, and the leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts a 16k-rpm tachometer as well as gauges monitoring oil and water temperature. The car is not equipped with an odometer, and total chassis mileage is unknown.
 
 
The carburetted 600cc inline-four was sourced from a Yamaha R6 motorcycle and sits below faux Cosworth-branded valve covers.
 
 
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed sequential gearbox and a chain-driven rear axle.
 
 
A certificate of authenticity for the bodywork will accompany the car along with a Rush movie poster mounted on a display stand and Blu-Ray and DVD copies of the film. Also included in the sale are a pair of 10″ x 15″ rear wheels wrapped in slicks, a toolbox, and a wheel nut wrench.
