Product details

Description

The Lotus 72E represents a defining moment in Formula 1 history, embodying the revolutionary engineering and aerodynamic innovation that made Colin Chapman's Team Lotus one of the most successful constructors of the 1970s. At the 1973 German Grand Prix held at the legendary Nürburgring, Emerson Fittipaldi and Ronnie Peterson piloted their black and gold John Player Special Lotus 72E cars in a spectacular display of racing prowess on one of motorsport's most challenging and dangerous circuits. This exceptional performance came during a season where the Lotus 72E continued to demonstrate its remarkable versatility and competitive edge, with the iconic wedge-shaped design and distinctive livery becoming synonymous with Formula 1 excellence. The 1973 German Grand Prix at the fearsome "Green Hell" of the Nürburgring showcased the 72E's exceptional handling characteristics on the circuit's demanding 14.2-mile layout, where only the most skilled drivers and finest machinery could survive.

This exceptional 1:87 scale Brekina diecast model set meticulously captures the complete essence of the legendary Lotus 72E operation from the 1973 German Grand Prix with remarkable precision and attention to historical accuracy. The comprehensive set features both Lotus 72E Formula 1 cars in authentic John Player Special black and gold livery, a period-correct Ford Transit support van, and six promotional figures that recreate the authentic paddock atmosphere of 1970s Grand Prix racing. Each model showcases the distinctive wedge-shaped profile that revolutionised Formula 1 aerodynamics, complete with period-correct sponsorship decals and precise proportions that celebrate both the innovative engineering and the complete racing team experience of this motorsport legend.
