Details

Inspired by the Lotus 49 Formula One racing car designed by Colin Chapman for the 1967 Formula One season, this half-scale 2023 Junior Classic F1-Lotus Racer incorporates the Type 49 theme throughout its design. It is coated in red, cream and gold premium DuPont automotive paint and features the upgraded gold-leaf racing livery racing package, including details such as gold-leaf livery badging and a racing roundel on the side and nose, while long chrome exhaust tailpipes extend from the rear. Enhancing its authenticity, a clear Perspex windscreen and an optional front and rear wing aero kit have been added, just as the later series of Type 49. The cockpit reveals a black leather interior and a quick-release steering wheel. Under the hood is a 125cc single-cylinder 4-stroke gas engine, delivering 8hp and 7.5 ft/lbs of torque at 6,500 rpm. The F1-L Racer boasts a top speed of 40 mph, with the option to add a variable speed restrictor. Its 3-speed semi-automatic sequential gearbox with reverse gear ensures an engaging driving experience, while the rear-mounted engine and rear-wheel drive layout stay true to its racing roots. The car is equipped with a hydraulic split braking system featuring vented discs and Brembo calipers, both at the front and rear, for reliable stopping power. This Junior Racer houses a fully independent suspension featuring double wishbones in the front and single wishbones in the rear. Height-adjustable gas shocks at all four corners allow for a customizable driving experience, while rack & pinion steering ensures precise control. The vehicle's structure includes a jig-built, fully welded box chassis with a powder-coat finish for durability and rigidity. Its composite GRP body and floor plan reduce weight while maintaining structural integrity. Adjustable pedals accommodate drivers of various sizes, making it suitable for both junior drivers and adults up to 5'10'. The F1-L Racer measures 101 inches in length, 45 inches in width, 31 inches in height and has a weight of 485 pounds. Practical features include a functional key ignition, horn and rear engine access to simplify maintenance. To maintain the performance, the F1L Racer includes a NOCO battery maintainer, a fitted indoor car cover and an operational/owner's manual. **SOLD ON BILL OF SALE**
