Tamiya 84191 1/10 Team Lotus 99T Honda F103 Replica RC Kit  [84191]

Replica of the Team Lotus 99T Honda in 1/10

The Team Lotus 99T Honda made a mark in the 1987 Formula 1 season with drivers Ayrton Senna and Satoru Nakajima. It was notable for its computer-controlled Active Suspension and a turbocharged Honda V6 engine, picking up wins at circuits like Monaco and Detroit. This Tamiya kit recreates that car at 1/10 scale with period detail.

F103 chassis features and dynamics

The Tamiya 84191 rides on the F103 semi-double deck FRP chassis, which prioritises a lightweight, rigid platform. The direct drive 2WD powertrain transfers drive directly to the rear wheels, and the supplied sponge tyres are chosen to give strong traction and predictable handling on smooth surfaces.

Scale fidelity and race-correct finishing

The polycarbonate body mirrors the low, aerodynamic shape of the Lotus 99T and includes decals for the No.11 car used by Nakajima to add authenticity. With a 260mm wheelbase and a weight around 660g, the model aims to balance accurate scale looks with credible performance on the track.

Tamiya 84191 provides a historically faithful model with straightforward mechanics, appealing to modellers who want a classic F1 subject for both display and driving.
