The Lola T92/00 is a highly successful open-wheel racing car chassis, designed and built by Lola Cars that competed in the CART open-wheel racing series, for competition in the 1992 IndyCar season. It was extremely competitive, winning 10 out of the 16 races that season, and clinching 14 total pole positions, including the opening round in Australia, and the special Marlboro Challenge event at Nazareth. It was mainly powered by the {{cvt|800-850|hp|kW}} Ford/Cosworth XB turbo engine, but some also used the Ilmor-Chevrolet 265-A V8 turbo engine, or the Buick Indy V6 turbo engine with this chassis. It powered Bobby Rahal to his third and final IndyCar World Drivers' Championship.{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iGwuDwAAQBAJ&dq=lola+t93%2F00+indycar+specs&pg=PT290 |title=LOLA - All the Sports Racing 1978-1997 - John Starkey, Ken Wells, Esa Illoinen - Google Books |date= October 2000|isbn=9781901295009 |accessdate=2022-06-03|last1=Starkey |first1=John |last2=Wells |first2=Ken |last3=Illoinen |first3=Esa |publisher=Veloce Publishing }}{{cite web | url=http://www.lolaheritage.co.uk/2018/type_numbers/t92-00/t92-00.html | title=Lola Heritage }}{{cite web | url=https://www.schmitt.com/inventory/1992-lola-t9200-indycar-driven-by-al-unser-sr/ | title=1992 Lola T9200 IndyCar }}{{cite web | url=https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/us-scene/indycar/great-racing-cars-1992-lola-t9200 | title=Great racing cars: 1992 Lola T9200 | date=26 February 2016 }}{{cite web | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=I-QDAAAAMBAJ&dq=lola+t92%2F00+indycar+specs&pg=PA113 | title=Popular Mechanics | date=June 1992 | publisher=Hearst Magazines }}
