Tamiya 1/20 Cars - 1/20 Lotus Type 79 1978 - 20060

The Tamiya 1/20 Lotus Type 79 1978 (20060) reproduces one of the most revolutionary Formula 1 cars ever built. The Lotus 79 was the definitive ground effect racing car — Mario Andretti used its aerodynamic underbody to generate unprecedented downforce and claim the 1978 World Championship. It transformed how F1 cars were designed and remains a landmark in motorsport history.

• Accurate 1/20 Lotus Type 79 in 1978 championship configuration
• Detailed ground effect side pods and venturi underbody
• Iconic black and gold JPS livery options
