AUTOart 1:18 Scale Composite Model
The Lotus 72 is a team lotus F1 machine designed by Colin Chapman and Maurice Phillip.
Debuted in the Spain GP in 1970 and won 20 wins and 3 contractors champions.
Aluminum Monocoque Chassis is equipped with a Ford Cosworth DFV3 Liter V-8-cylinder engine vertically
Until then, it was designed to be an aerodynamic wedge-shaped body shape with radiators placed inside the left and right side pods, and the use of suspension torsion bars, and inboard brakes.
From the Spain GP during the 1973 season, we have released the "72E" updated to respond to regulations changes.
Ronny Peterson who joined Lotus this year 4 wins and the youngest World Champion in the previous year, Emmerson Fitty Paldi won 3 wins and was unfortunately missed the drivers title, but Team Lotus won the 1973 Constructors Champion.
The coloring of the helmet is faithfully reproduced with Ronny Peterson driver figure.
The "AutoArt Composite Model" (Patent Pending) uses a proprietary blend of ABS, and die-cast for the inner body.
Using the benefits of each material, it achieves a high rigidity and weight feel that is inferior to die-cast models, while recreating a realistic and sharp body line, and allowing you to close and close parts more accurate than a die-cast body.
