You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.89.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪L235‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 18:20, 24 March 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Lotus Eleven''' is a [[Sports car racing|sports racing car]] built in various versions by [[Lotus Cars|Lotus]] from 1956 until 1958. The later versions built in 1958 are sometimes referred to as '''Lotus 13''', although this was not an official designation.((Citation needed|date=August 2019)) In total, about 270 Elevens of all versions were built.

==Design and performance==
The Eleven was designed by [[Colin Chapman]] and fitted with a sleek body designed by aerodynamicist [[Frank Costin]]. Its top version, dubbed ''Le Mans'', was fitted with a 1100 cc (67ci) [[Coventry Climax]] FWA engine ;occasionally with a 1500 cc (92ci)<ref>Setright, L.J.K, "Lotus: The golden mean", in Northey, Tom, ed. World of Automobiles (London: Orbis, 1974), Volume 11, p.1224.</ref> [[Coventry Climax]] FWB engine), mounted in the front of a tubular [[space frame]]. The Eleven featured a [[De Dion tube]] rear axle and [[Lucas Industries#Girling|Girling]] [[disc brake]]s.

Fully loaded, the car weighed only about ((convert|1000|lb|kg|abbr=on)). Versions for a 1100 cc (67ci)<ref name="Setright, p.1224">Setright, p.1224.</ref> Climax engine (''Club'') and a 1172 cc (72ci)<ref name="Setright, p.1224"/> [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]] engine (''Sport'') were also produced; both featured a live rear axle and [[drum brake]]s. Several cars were fitted with alternative engines by their owners, these included [[Coventry Climax]] 1500cc (92ci) FWB and FPF and 1200 cc (73ci) FWE, Maserati 150S 1500cc (92ci), DKW 1000cc (61ci) SAAB 850cc (52ci) and 750cc (46ci) engines. There were two main body styles: one with a headrest and the other with no headrest, just two small fins.  Some cars were later fitted with a closed body with [[Gull-wing door|gullwing]] doors to meet [[Grand tourer|GT]] specifications.

Perhaps the car's most notable race result was 7th overall at the [[1956 24 Hours of Le Mans]], driven by [[Reg Bicknell]] and [[Peter Jopp]].

Despite the wide variety of engines installed, the car was primarily designed to compete in the 1100 cc class where it was one of the most successful cars during the mid- to late-1950s. In 1956, an Eleven, modified by Costin with a bubble canopy over the cockpit,<ref name="Setright, p.1224"/> was driven by [[Stirling Moss]] to a class world record of ((convert|143|mph|km/h|abbr=on)) for a lap at [[Autodromo Nazionale Monza|Monza]]. Several class victories at [[Le Mans]] and [[Sebring Raceway|Sebring]] followed, and the Eleven became Lotus' most successful race car design. A 750cc version won the Index of Performance at [[Le Mans]] in 1957.

In 1957, the Eleven underwent a major design change, including a new front suspension and improvements to the drivetrain. Although officially called ''Eleven Series 2'', these late models are sometimes informally referred to as ''Lotus 13''s, since they were produced between the [[Lotus Twelve|12]] and [[Lotus Elite|14]] models and the 13 designation was not used by Lotus.

There have been several replicas and re-creations of the Lotus Eleven, including the Kokopelli 11, the Challenger GTS, the Spartak and the best known, the [[Westfield XI]].
