Tamiya 20044 - 1/20 Lotus 25 Coventry Climax Model Kit  [20044]

Experience the Revolutionary Design of the Lotus 25

The Lotus 25 Coventry Climax represents a pivotal moment in Formula 1 history, marking the debut of the innovative monocoque chassis design in 1962. Developed by Team Lotus under the visionary leadership of Colin Chapman, this construction method replaced the traditional space frame with a lightweight yet rigid structure formed from thin aluminum sheets. This breakthrough not only enhanced performance but also set new standards for race car engineering.

Powered by a reliable 1.5-liter V8 engine from Coventry Climax, the Lotus 25 showcased advanced suspension technology with a rocking arm inboard spring at the front and a sophisticated rear setup featuring lower A and upper I arms. With legendary driver Jim Clark, the Lotus 25 achieved three victories in its inaugural season and dominated the 1963 championship with seven wins, securing both the driver's and manufacturer's titles for Lotus.

This 1/20 scale model kit by Tamiya allows enthusiasts to recreate this iconic vehicle, offering an authentic building experience that captures the essence of its groundbreaking design and historical significance.
