1988 Grand Prix Racer
The low cockpit, narrow tyres and period aerodynamic surfaces recall the turbocharged Grand Prix grid of 1988. Beneath that recognisable profile, the engine and drivetrain are linked for a more involving display model.
- Working V6. The engine contains rotating pistons connected to the car's drivetrain.
- Turbo detail. An integrated compressor assembly adds to the mechanical presentation of the engine area.
- Period suspension. Front and rear suspension assemblies follow the model's vintage open-wheel layout.
- Racing bodywork. The low wings, open cockpit and period-inspired livery provide the finishing context for the mechanical build.

Revisit the turbo era
A linked V6, exposed suspension and low racing body recall the Grand Prix grid of 1988.
Watch the V6 move
Rotating pistons connect the engine assembly to the drivetrain. The movement gives the rear of the chassis a purpose beyond the period details visible around it.
Look into the turbo layout
A compressor assembly adds another layer around the engine. It helps capture the mechanical emphasis of the era without relying solely on the red-and-white racing body.
Keep the chassis in view
Front and rear suspension sit beneath a low cockpit and period wings. The narrow open-wheel layout leaves the mechanical relationships visible around the finished bodywork.
