I found this to be a very nice and interesting throwback to a great, and very beautiful, car. Described by those who built it.

Great stuff! :love:

Though about the MP4/4, it always bothered me that this beautiful car had to run with those most restrictive turbo engine rules allowing for "only" 650 or so HP. It would have been marvellous to see it with a '85 or '86 monster engine in the back giving above 1000 HP in qualifying mode.

I guess I am missing a huge amount of conspiracies, scandals and narrative... :smoking:

Probably my favourite car too. Thankfully the intra-team battle kept it interesting.

It's strange to look at now, as at the time it was so far more advaced than the others. Whilst still impressive, it does look lika a large gokart when stripped down.
