The Lola B07 / 10 is a Le Mans prototype that was built in 2007 by Lola Cars for the Swiss Swiss Spirit team.

The Lola B07 / 10 was based on the Lola B06 / 10 . In contrast to the B05 variants, which were developed for the LMP2 class, the B06 vehicles were designed as LMP1 vehicles. These racing cars usually had Judd or AER engines in the rear. However, a 3.6-liter V8 unit from Audi was used in the B07 / 10 . The turbo engine was installed with considerable help from Audi Sport.

The chassis had to be redesigned to accommodate the engine. The vehicle came in 2007 when 24-hour race at Le Mans used. The car was driven by the three Swiss Marcel Fässler , Iradj Alexander and Jean-Denis Delétraz . After serious problems with the electrics, the car had to be parked after only 62 laps.

Another B07 / 10 chassis was driven by the Czech Charouz team in the Le Mans Series . However, this vehicle had an 8-cylinder Judd engine.
