Spark Lotus 79 #5 Winner Belgium GP 1978 Mario Andretti 1:18 model

The Lotus 79 is one of the most revolutionary Formula 1 vehicles of all time – the first car that consistently used the ground effect and thereby changed the aerodynamics of motorsport forever. With its lateral Venturi channels, the Lotus 79 generated enormous downforce without additional air resistance and was almost unbeatable in the 1978 season. Mario Andretti piloted the #5 Lotus 79 to victory at the Belgian Grand Prix 1978 in Zolder – on the way to his Formula 1 world championship title. Spark immortalises this exceptional vehicle as a precise 1:18 resin collector's model in the customary high-quality quality and reflects the original as well as possible.
