| Additional Info: The Mk1 ran from 1963-1966. A lot of deveopment went into producing the Twin Cam Lotus engine, which subsequently was used for motorsport and became quite popular. The Cortina used a number of materials to make it a lightweight performance GT saloon. The 0-60 times are irrelevant as much of the cars ability was in it's handling and it's competitiveness on the track. |
