V8-Powered Lotus 49 1/3-Scale RC Car

Powering through the vintage racetrack with authenticity is this 56th-scale model that faithfully replicates the iconic Lotus 49 of 1967, hailing from Chula Vista, California. Crafted lovingly in Amsterdam and acquired just two years ago, this miniature masterpiece is not only a sight to behold but also packs an impressive V8 engine under its sleek fiberglass body. Measuring a third the size of the original Formula One champion, it mirrors the victorious era of racing when Lotus secured its first triumph at the Dutch Grand Prix. Despite being an RC vehicle, this hand-assembled Lotus 49 retains a formidable presence valued at $11,000 today.
