High-Performance Automotive Lola Wind Tunnel w/ 1,200m² Facility Upgraded 2024

ITEM-49526

High-Performance Automotive Lola Wind Tunnel w/ 1,200m² Facility Upgraded 2024


This system is sold on behalf of a Client. It is surplus to requirement.


The facility was commissioned in 1999 by Lola Cars to deliver advanced aerodynamic testing for race and road cars. It has an extensive history of use by leading motorsport and automotive brands including Mazda, Toyota F1, Aston Martin, Bentley, MG (Le Mans Car) and Scania Trucks. Typical rental rates for external users have been around £7,000 per day.


A major upgrade project was completed between late 2023 and mid-2024, bringing the wind tunnel to the very latest standards of aerodynamic testing. The upgrade preserved the tunnel’s proven aerodynamic performance while introducing the latest control systems, data handling capabilities, and automation features.


Key upgrade highlights include:

  • New EtherCat-enabled control architecture for all major systems
  • Cosworth Diablo control software providing automated sequencing, Constant Motion Testing, advanced data acquisition, and integration with MATLAB and Pi Toolbox
  • Rolling Road and Boundary Layer Suction System fully upgraded for precision airflow control
  • Enhanced Model Motion System (MMS) with improved speed, power, and positional accuracy for realistic simulation of track and road conditions
  • Turntable synchronisation with MMS for accurate cornering simulations
  • Upgraded pressure scanning system with 384 high-speed, high-resolution channels
  • Aerotech overhead balance integrated with EtherCat for improved force measurement precision
  • Split high-speed network infrastructure for secure facility control and data handling

The wind tunnel is available for purchase with or without its 1,200 m² purpose-built building:

  • £2.153 million – wind tunnel only
  • £2.563M million – wind tunnel with building

It has been used very lightly over the past three years and is ready for continued use in motorsport, automotive R&D, and advanced aerodynamic applications.
