The Tamiya 21103 finished model captures the spirit of the 1977 Team Lotus Type 78, an F1 car that pushed aerodynamic thinking. Its distinctive side pontoon arrangement focused on creating ground-effect downforce, a radical approach at the time. Driven by Mario Andretti and Gunnar Nilsson, the Type 78 notched wins across the 1977 calendar including the American West, Spanish, French, Italian and Belgian rounds. The completed replica reproduces the car's slender profile and aero detail for display or inclusion in a period motorsport scene.
