McLaren Ford MP4/8
1/20 Scale
Item# 25172

DESCRIPTION
This is a Limited Edition Re-Release of the McLaren Honda MP4/8
Formula One model kit. The original kit was released in late 1993
and it is once again available for a limited time.

The MP/8 was developed for the 1993 Formula One season. The car
made its race debut in the opening round in South Africa. The car
utilized such technological advances as active suspension and a
semi-automatic transmission, which applied optimal gear control
tailored to the race circuit. After numerous years with Honda,
power was supplied by a reliable Ford HV V8 engine. 5 victories
on the season was a satisfying return for the British based
constructor, although once again the car fell just short of the
heights of a Driver’s or Constructor’s Championship.
