FORMULA 86/89 MP4/2 ESTORIL 1986 2 K.ROSBERG

The farewell of Keke Rosberg in Estoril, forever fixed in 1:32 scale by NSR

There are races that transcend the result. The 1986 Portuguese Grand Prix, held at the Estoril circuit, was one of them. Keke Rosberg, world champion in 1982 and seasoned in a thousand battles, was closing that year his chapter in Formula 1 at the wheel of a McLaren MP4/2 that sported an unusual livery: yellow and white instead of the classic Marlboro red, to promote the Marlboro Lights variant. NSR has immortalised that moment with this piece belonging to the Resins and Collectors category, aimed at those who value both the history of motorsport and the fidelity of the model.

Features and highlights

• 1:32 scale, standard in the slot hobby and a reference in single-seater collecting.
• Historic Marlboro Lights livery: the unmistakable yellow and white decoration that Rosberg drove in Estoril 1986, reproduced with graphic precision.
• Resin body, a material that allows for a higher level of detail than injected plastic and a high-level collector's finish.
• Presented in a rigid display box, designed to protect the model and showcase it in a cabinet without the need for handling.
• Manufactured by NSR, a reference brand in the competitive slot car and quality collector segment.

Scale and level of detail

The 1:32 scale is predominant in the slot world and allows for the aerodynamic shapes of the McLaren MP4/2 to be captured with a fidelity that satisfies both historical motorsport enthusiasts and the most demanding collectors. The details of the nose, rear wing, air intakes, and side wings are reproduced following the lines of the real single-seater that raced in Portugal during Rosberg's last season in the top category.

Ideal for…

• Collectors of historic Formula 1 single-seaters, especially from the turbo era of the 1980s.
• Fans of McLaren and the team's history during its most dominant period of the decade.
• Fans of Keke Rosberg and the drivers who marked classic F1.
• Those looking for a display piece with high-quality presentation.
