The Team Lotus 99T Honda left a mark in 1987 under drivers like Ayrton Senna and Satoru Nakajima. Known for its computer-controlled Active Suspension and the turbocharged Honda V6, the car achieved standout results at street circuits such as Monaco and Detroit. This Tamiya kit brings that era to the model garage in precise 1/10 scale form.
Built on the F103 semi-double deck FRP chassis, the Tamiya 84191 emphasises a lightweight, rigid platform. The direct drive 2WD setup channels power efficiently from a Type 540 motor, while the included sponge tyres improve grip for tighter cornering response during scale racing sessions.
The polycarbonate body reproduces the Lotus 99T's low silhouette and aerodynamic details. The decal sheet matches the No.11 scheme used by Nakajima to enhance authenticity. With a 260mm wheelbase and a roughly 660g mass, the model balances historic fidelity with practical on-track manners.
Tamiya 84191 combines historical accuracy with approachable RC mechanics, suited to collectors and modelers who like hands-on builds and realistic scale driving.
