Lotus 102 1990 Lamborghini Engine USA GP Qualifying Driver: Derek Warwick (Raining Tyres) in 1:18 scale
This is the Lotus 102 1990 Lamborghini Engine USA GP Qualifying Driver: Derek Warwick (Raining Tyres) in 1:18 scale by Tecnomodel.
In the 1990 United States Grand Prix qualifying session, Derek Warwick piloted the Lotus 102 with its distinctive Lamborghini V12 engine, aiming to secure a strong position on the challenging street circuit in Phoenix, Arizona. The Lotus 102 was a powerful yet unpredictable machine, with the Lamborghini engine providing raw speed but posing reliability issues. Warwick, a seasoned F1 driver known for his resilience and skill in handling difficult cars, managed to push the Lotus to its limits despite the car’s challenges. The 1990 season was particularly intense, dominated by the rivalry between Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost, which raised the competitive stakes for all teams. Amid this fierce environment, Warwick’s efforts showcased both his expertise and Lotus’s ambition to contend with the front-runners, even with an experimental engine partnership.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. Resin models are
exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Each model is created using a variety of production
processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite material referred to in the
industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used
for the most authentic replication.
