Dette modellsettet er en modell den berømte Lotus Type 78, som ble kjørt av Mario Andretti og Gunnar Nilsson. Lotus Type 78 ga navnet sitt i historien som den første fullverdige vingebilen i Formel 1. Racerbilen har en slank kropp basert på en skarp kileform, og innsiden av sideskjørtet har en vingeform som er opp ned med omvendt flylignende vinger for å oppnå en større nedkraftseffekt uten å øke luftmotstanden.

| A Pioneer Renowned as one of the pioneers of the wing car era, the Lotus Type 78 debuted in the 1977 Argentine Grand Prix to much acclaim for its sleek, aerodynamic form. The inverted gull wing shaping on the underside of its side pontoons generated significant downforce via the “ground effect,” without adding significant drag, giving the Type 78 exemplary cornering speed. In the highly capable hands of Mario Andretti and Gunnar Nilsson, it triumphed in the United States Grand Prix West, and the Spanish, French, Italian and Belgian Grand Prix. It raced into the first half of the 1978 season, and helped put the Lotus team firmly back on the map. |
