Pocher Lotus 72D John Player Special 1:8 Model car
The legendary Lotus 72 is considered one of the most beautiful and innovative Formula 1 racing cars of the 1970s. Colin Chapman's revolutionary idea of moving the radiator from the front into the side boxes enabled a profound change in appearance and, thanks to the optimized weight transfer, a substantial improvement in driving behavior. First in gold leaf colors and later in the distinctive black-and-gold John Player Special Design, the Lotus 72 demonstrated its unrivaled strength in the early 1970s. With the combination of the equally legendary engine - the Ford Cosworth DFV 3.0 V8 - and the better driving characteristics, the Lotus won 20 World Championship race and became one of the most successful Grand Prix cars ever built. The JSP-Design Chassis with identity number 7 (of 9) was driven in 1972 at the Grand Prix of Great Britain by the soon to be world champion Emerson Fittipaldi. This amazing Pocher model offers with more than 600 components many details from the monocoque chassis and the suspension, the engine components up to unbelievably detailed cockpit and real rubber tires. All logos are reproduced faithfully to the original. This impressive 1:8-model could become the star of your collection.This text is machine translated.
