The '''Lola LC89''' was a [[Formula One]] car designed by [[Lola Cars|Lola]] founder [[Eric Broadley]] for use in the [[1989 Formula One season]] by the [[Larrousse]] team. It was powered by the 3.5L [[Lamborghini V12|Lamborghini 3512]] [[V12 engine]] designed by former [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]] designer [[Mauro Forghieri]]. The car was generally regarded by most in the F1 paddock as the best handling car of 1989. Drivers of the car included [[Philippe Alliot]], [[Aguri Suzuki]] and [[Michele Alboreto]].

The LC89, with its Lamborghini V12 engine, made its debut in Round 3 at the [[1989 Monaco Grand Prix]]. Unfortunately, while the aerodynamics were good and the chassis was on the pace (the LC89 was generally regarded as being possibly the best chassis of 1989),{{cn|date=March 2014}} the Lamborghini V12 engine, considered by many in F1 to be the best sounding engine of the new non-turbo era, proved to be generally unreliable, despite its reported {{Convert|625|bhp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}}. The car and engine combination would only score 1 point in its racing life with Alliot finishing in 6th place at the [[1989 Spanish Grand Prix]]. Indeed, five time Grand Prix winner Alboreto failed to pre-qualify the car twice (Spain and [[1989 Australian Grand Prix|Australia]]) in his eight drives for the team in 1989.

The Lola LC89 is a Formula One car designed by Lola founder Eric Broadley and used in the 1989 Formula One season by the Larrousse team. It was powered by the 3.5-litre Lamborghini 3512 V12 engine designed by former Ferrari designer Mauro Forghieri. Drivers of the car included Philippe Alliot, Éric Bernard, Aguri Suzuki and Michele Alboreto.

The car made its debut in round two of the season, at the 1989 San Marino Grand Prix. While the aerodynamics were good and the chassis was on the pace, the Lamborghini V12 engine proved to be generally unreliable, despite its reported 600 bhp (447 kW; 608 PS). The car and engine combination would only score one point in its racing life with Alliot finishing in sixth place at the 1989 Spanish Grand Prix. Five time Grand Prix winner Alboreto failed to pre-qualify the car twice (Spain and Australia) and failed to qualify once (Japan), in his eight drives for the team in 1989. Alboreto also suffered a broken rib driving the car when he ran over a high curb during the Hungarian Grand Prix.

The chassis was updated into the LC89B for the first two races of 1990. It was replaced by the Lola LC90 from the 1990 San Marino Grand Prix.
