This is the Lotus 102 1990 Lamborghini Engine Japanese GP Driver: J. Herbert in 1:18 scale by Tecnomodel.

The Lotus 102, powered by a Lamborghini V12 engine and driven by Johnny Herbert at the 1990 Japanese Grand Prix, represented a bold engineering choice during a challenging season for Lotus. The Lamborghini V12 gave the car a unique sound and considerable power, though it struggled with reliability against the more dominant engines from Honda and Ferrari. Johnny Herbert, known for his tenacity and adaptability, managed to handle the car's complex characteristics at Suzuka, a track renowned for its technical demands. The 1990 season was notable for intense battles between Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost, adding extra tension to every race. Amid fierce competition and cutting-edge developments, Herbert’s efforts in the Lotus 102 reflected the team’s determination to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving F1 field.

This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. Resin models are
exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Each model is created using a variety of production
processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite material referred to in the
industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used
for the most authentic replication.
