Lotus F1 98T #12 1986 Winner Detroit GP Ayrton Senna in 1:12 scale (W/ Driver's Arm Raised & Brazilian flag
The Lotus 98T Renault Turbo No. 12 gave Ayrton Senna a memorable victory at the 1986 Detroit Grand Prix, his fourth Formula 1 win and his first victory in the United States. Senna started from pole and overcame an early right-rear tire problem that dropped him to eighth before charging back through the field to win by more than 30 seconds. The 98T was an extraordinary turbo-era F1 car, powered by a 1.5-liter Renault V6 turbo capable of roughly 900 hp in race trim, with a lightweight carbon/Kevlar monocoque, advanced aerodynamics, water injection, and driver-adjustable ride height. Its combination of enormous turbocharged power and Lotus's sophisticated chassis made the black-and-gold 98T one of the most distinctive machines of Formula 1's spectacular mid-1980s turbo era.
