The Team Lotus 99T Honda stands out in Formula 1 history. Piloted by Ayrton Senna and Satoru Nakajima, the car made an impact in the 1987 season with its computer-controlled Active Suspension and a potent Honda V6 turbo powerplant. Its victories at Monaco and Detroit helped cement its legacy. This Tamiya replica recreates that racing heritage at 1/10 scale with attention to period detail.
The Tamiya 84191 uses the F103 semi-double deck FRP chassis, designed to be light yet durable. The direct drive 2WD layout provides efficient power transfer from the Type 540 motor to the wheels, while high-grip sponge tyres aid precision cornering and responsive steering for club racers and collectors alike.
The polycarbonate shell captures the low, aerodynamic profile of the original Team Lotus 99T. Decals replicate the No.11 livery used by Nakajima, giving an authentic appearance. With a 260mm wheelbase and approximately 660g curb weight, the model balances visual accuracy with realistic on-track behaviour.
The Tamiya 84191 blends period-correct styling with straightforward RC mechanics, making it a solid choice for modelers and drivers who want a faithful Formula 1 replica.
