The Lotus 78 "wing car" revolutionized F1 and started the ground effects era.
Giorgio Piola: "In the 70's Colin Chapman was a hero in a way that he was always finding new solutions - Lotus 25, Lotus 70, Lotus 49, Lotus 72 and then he came with the first winged car that is not the Lotus 79 that won the championship with Mario Andretti, but the car year before - the 78."
