1990 Pontiac Grand Prix McLaren Turbo

Black Metallic 1/25 scale kit manufactured by Revell in the early 1990s

 

Recently salvaged from my collection built as a teenager and restored to a more presentable condition

 

The McLaren Turbo version was the first Grand Prix with wide ribbed side cladding, integrated fender flares and larger exhaust outlets as standard equipment. This became the B4U appearance package that in later years was optional on the SE and standard on the GT and GTP. The rear decklid spoiler is a custom part that was initially an aftermarket option and later a factory option with the integraded CHMSL. The louvered hood was also standard fare for the McLaren, and later on the 3.4L equipped Grand Prixs. The prototype McLaren Turbo had gold cross-lace wheels lifted directly from the Trans Am GTA, while production versions were equipped with a revised design.
