Product Review

This is a Limited Edition Re-Release of the McLaren Honda MP4/7 Formula One model kit. The original kit was released in late 1992 and it is once again available for a limited time. The full size MP4/7 included a number of technological innovations, including McLarens first semiautomatic transmission, which was linked to an electronically managed throttle and enabled gear changes without the driver lifting their foot from the pedal. This was married with the newly developed RA122E/B V12 engine from Honda. Although the car was unable to deliver the ultimate goal of a championship, it was still piloted to a highly respectable 5 wins in the 1992 Formula One 1992 season. Manufacturer: Tamiya. Model Number: 25171. Category 1: Model Kits. Category 2: 1:24 Scale.
