History

The Lotus 79 is regarded as one of the most influential Formula One cars ever produced, pioneering the use of full ground-effect aerodynamics that transformed Grand Prix racing. Introduced in 1978, its innovative design generated exceptional cornering performance and inspired an entirely new generation of Formula One cars. Variants of the Lotus 79 continued to compete during the 1979 season, where teams and private entrants campaigned the famous chassis against increasingly competitive rivals. Today, the Lotus 79 remains an icon of Formula One engineering and a favourite subject for motorsport enthusiasts and model builders alike.
