McLarenM23_06

The McLaren M23 was a Formula One racing car designed by Gordon Coppuck, with input from John Barnard.

The M23 was never the most technically advanced F1 car, but sound preparation and continual development helped it win 16 Grands Prix, two drivers' and one constructors' world championships in its lifetime, between 1973 and 1977.

This model is the 1976 version with lower air intakes used by James Hunt to win the title in the epic battle with Niki Lauda (as seen also in Ron Howard's movie RUSH).

In 1977 the same car was used by Gilles Villeneuve in his F1 debut.

 

Model built in 2014
