1/20 Lotus 25 Coventry Climax No.1 (Finished Model)
Item No: 21140
Trend Setter
The Lotus 25 was a revolutionary entry in the world of Formula One, the Team Lotus-run vehicle being the first car to move away from the then-standard tubular steel space frame and employ a lightweight aluminum monocoque. The design was incredibly economical on space, left and right D-shaped sections plus front/rear bulkheads surrounding the driver's seat and leaving just enough room for them to fit in a position akin to laying in a bath, leading to the frame's being dubbed a "bathtub" type. Powered by the 1.5-liter V8 engine supplied by Coventry Climax, the 25 took three victories in the hands of Jim Clark during its debut 1962 season, the next year winning 7 out of 10 races to make Clark into a dominant champion at the pinnacle of motorsport.
