McLaren MP4/4

Some racing cars wear their brilliance on the surface, the MP4/4 hid it beneath carbon and silence.

We have recreated the surgical precision of the Honda turbo engine and the monastic weaving of the carbon tub, a study in how dominance is engineered, part by patient part.

Total Dominance.
1:8 Scale Commission

1988. 15 wins in 16 races.

The world knows the MP4/4 by its red and white livery.

This commission strips away that skin to reveal the engineering reality underneath.

Without the bodywork, there are no secrets.

You are staring directly at Gordon Murray’s "low-line" philosophy.

 

The commission exposes the raw carbon fiber monocoque, the suffocatingly

tight packaging of the Honda V6 Turbo, and the intricate plumbing of the radiators.

This is not a model of a race car, it is a model of the engineering that made

the race car possible. It is clinical, exposed, and brutally functional.
