The Lotus 107 was a Formula One car designed by Lotus for the 1992 Formula One Season. The car was upgraded to the Lotus 107B for 1993 and the Lotus 107C was used at the start of the 1994 Formula One Season as well. The team stopped using the car after the 1994 Canadian Grand Prix in favour of the Lotus 109.
The design work was headed by Chris Murphy, who had designed Leyton House chassis in 1991. The car was fitted with an active suspension system, which was based on the system used in the Lotus 92 during the 1983 Formula One Season. The system was carried into the B and C variants of the car, but the team lacked funding to make any noticeable improvements to the system.
