The Lola T95/30 (also known as the Lola T94/30) is a Formula One motor racing car which was tested by Allan McNish during 1994 and early 1995.{{cite web | url = http://www.grandprix.com/ft/ft00256.html | work = GrandPrix.com | publisher = Inside F1 | title = Technical: The Lola T97/30 | accessdate = 2008-12-22 | date = 1997-02-01 | first = Joe | last = Saward | authorlink = Joe Saward | archive-date = 30 January 2013 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130130211831/http://www.grandprix.com/ft/ft00256.html | url-status = dead }} The car, however, was not raced during any Formula One races. The car was designed as a prototype ready for Lola's arrival in Formula One. Lola, instead of actually racing the car in the season, chose instead to test the car while searching for a big-name sponsor as money for the project dried up. The T95/30 version could not be raced as it was made obsolete by regulation changes enforced by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), Formula One's governing body.
The car was designed by Julian Cooper and Chris Saunders, who previously worked at Benetton and Williams respectively. The chassis was developed using the 40% scale windtunnel at Cranfield Institute. The T95/30 car was eventually sold as a collectors item after being displayed at the 1997 Autosport show.{{cite web | url = http://www.ten-tenths.com/forum/showpost.php?s=b6bd63ffed19e74591f43ae02f243f62&p=1594558&postcount=1 | title = Lola T 97/30 | author = ss_collins | date = 2006-04-24 | accessdate = 2008-12-22 | publisher = 10 Tenths Motosport Forum}}
The car was succeeded by the Lola T97/30, which the team used during their participation in the 1997 Formula One season.
