Lotus F1 98T #12 1986 Winner Spanish GP Ayrton Senna in 1:12 scale w/Driver Figure
The Lotus 98T Renault Turbo No. 12 gave Ayrton Senna victory at the 1986 Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez, after starting from pole and holding off Nigel Mansell’s Williams-Honda by just 0.014 seconds in one of Formula 1’s closest finishes. Senna, then a 26-year-old rising star, demonstrated extraordinary precision and defensive driving under intense pressure. The 98T was a spectacular example of the turbo era, powered by a 1.5-liter Renault EF15B V6 turbocharged engine producing roughly 800–900 hp in race trim, with a lightweight carbon-fiber/Kevlar monocoque and six-speed gearbox. Its advanced adjustable ride-height system, sophisticated aerodynamics, and famous black-and-gold John Player Special livery made it particularly distinctive. The Jerez victory was Senna’s second win of 1986 and remains one of the defining performances of the Lotus 98T.
