Description

A History Maker
The Lotus 72 was certainly an attention-grabbing car, and not just because of the stunning performance which swept Jochen Rindt to a world championship in 1970. An unmistakable wedge-shaped silhouette, cockpit-side radiators and torsion bar spring suspension were just some of the notable features on its avant-garde design. Team Lotus were never ones to rest upon their laurels, and the 1972 iteration of the car, the 72D was updated across the board - including a high-profile change of sponsor and a striking black color scheme. Burgeoning Brazilian driving sensation Emerson Fittipaldi was right at home in the 72D, and his 5 victories from 12 races were enough to take him to a maiden drivers' championship and Lotus to yet another team championship crown.
- This is a 1/12 scale plastic model assembly kit recreating the Team Lotus 72D that took the team and star driver Emerson Fittipaldi to championships in 1972. - Length: 400mm, width: 173mm, height: 87mm. - The distinctive wedge-shaped 72D form is captured with aplomb. - Torsion bar suspension mimics that of the real car, and provides smooth movement. - Steering wheel moves front wheels via rack and pinion mechanism. - Breathtaking Cosworth DFV engine recreation even features tubing to recreate pipes and wiring. - Front cowl and cockpit cowl fairings can be removed after assembly. - Features semi-pneumatic synthetic rubber tires. - Photo-etched parts and seatbelt parts add further to the precision finish. - Driver figure included.
