Lotus Cortina is the commonly used term for the Ford Cortina Lotus, a high-performance sports saloon, which was produced in the United Kingdom from 1963 to 1970 by Ford in collaboration with Lotus Cars. The original version, which was based on the Ford Cortina Mark 1,[1] was promoted by Ford as the "Consul Cortina developed by Lotus",[2] with "Consul" later being dropped from the name.[3] The Mark 2 was based on the Ford Cortina Mark II[4] and was marketed by Ford as the "Cortina Lotus".[5] Lotus gave the model the type number designation Type 28.
There were 3,306 Mark I and 4,093 Mark 2 Lotus Cortinas produced.[6]
