Tamiya 20044 - 1/20 Lotus 25 Coventry Climax Collector Model  [20044]

Historic Monocoque Engineering in 1/20 Scale

The Lotus 25 Coventry Climax stands as a turning point in Grand Prix history, debuting the monocoque chassis in 1962. Team Lotus, under Colin Chapman, crafted a thin aluminium shell that replaced heavier space frame designs and delivered a significant gain in structural rigidity and overall performance.

Equipped with a 1.5-litre Coventry Climax V8, the Lotus 25 paired compact power with progressive suspension engineering, including a front rocking arm with inboard springs and a rear arrangement composed of lower A arms and upper I arms. Jim Clark secured three wins in the car's first season and went on to dominate the 1963 championship with seven victories, leading Lotus to both major titles.

This Tamiya 1/20 kit provides a faithful static replica of the Lotus 25, offering accurate body lines and authentic build steps for modellers focused on period-correct presentation.
