Presenting one of the most beautiful and iconic Formula One racing car of the 1970s, recreated in 1:8 scale car model kit by Pocher.

The magical combination between Brazillan wonder kid Emerson Fittipaldi and designer Colin Champman, introduced one of the most successful cars in Formula 1. During 1970 to 1975, the Lotus 72D went on to win 20 races over six different seasons.

Its distinctive wedge-like design possessed advanced aerodynamics which was years ahead of its rivals. With a legendary Ford Cosworth DFV 3.0 V8 engine and the car's slipstreamed design, the Lotus 72D could produce higher top speeds while also creating more downforce for higher cornering speeds.

The Lotus 72 is seen by many to be the most beautiful, innovative and iconic Formula One racing car of the 1970s. Colin Chapman’s revolutionary idea of moving the radiator from the front of the car to a pair in sidepods allowed a sweeping change in the looks, handling and ability of Formula One cars. Firstly in Gold Leaf colours and then in the stunning black and gold of JPS, the Lotus 72 swept all before it in the early 1970s, proving to be the class of the field.

The finished model measures out at an incredible 523mm long, with a width of 235mm. Certainly the star of any collection.
