Limited Edition Static Model
1/20 McLaren MP4/6 Honda
Item No：89721
【 The Class of 1991 】 The McLaren MP4/6 Honda made its bow in the opening race of the 1991 Formula One season in America. A design team headed by Neil Oatley and featuring the aerodynamics specialist Henri Duran eschewed the raised nose which was so popular at the time, instead giving the car a tapering front section and marrying it with high side pontoons and extended radiator air intakes. The front wing tips, meanwhile, were fitted with cylindrical vortex generators which had the effect of smoothing airflow around the form of the car, thereby improving its downforce. Front and rear pushrod-actuated suspension was fitted with Showa dampers that enabled ground clearance adjustments by altering the oil pressure, and were also fitted with built-in sensors; it is said that, like the engine, the performance of the dampers could be monitored using the telemetry they sent back to the pit. The Honda RA121E V12 engine was a 3.5-liter unit that could muster 780hp and was paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. They would power the MP4/6 to 4 consecutive victories in America, Brazil, San Marino and Monaco, and later in the season the legendary Brazilian driver Ayrton Senna took victory in Hungary, Belgium and Austria, his teammate Gerhard Berger taking home the spoils in Japan. When the dust settled on the season, Senna was Driver's Champion for the third time, and the McLaren team headed the Constructor's Championship for a fourth.
