Pocher's Lotus 72D

[Ljevans]

The Lotus 72D, one of the most iconic Formula One cars of the 1970s, is now available as a detailed 1:8 scale model kit from Pocher. This exceptional kit features intricate details, including a Ford Cosworth DFV 3.0 V8 engine, a meticulously designed monocoque chassis, and real rubber tires. It captures the Lotus 72D’s unique wedge-like design and advanced aerodynamics, which played a key role in its success on the track. Notably, the chassis number 7 (of 9) was driven by Emerson Fittipaldi to victory at the 1972 British Grand Prix.

Did you know? The Lotus 72D’s sidepod radiator placement was a groundbreaking design choice that revolutionized Formula One car handling and appearance.
