This is the Lola T89 1989 Indy Car Bobby Rahal Limited Edition in 1:18 scale by Tecnomodel.
In 1989, Bobby Rahal campaigned the Lola T89 in the CART IndyCar Series, showcasing the consistency and racecraft that would later make him a three-time series champion. Driving the Ford-Cosworth-powered machine, Rahal was known for his smooth, calculated style, often conserving his car early in races to mount late charges. That season, he faced fierce competition from legends like Emerson Fittipaldi, Al Unser Jr., and Mario Andretti, making every podium finish hard-earned. A standout moment came during the 1989 Indianapolis 500, where Rahal fought through changing track conditions and intense pack racing, underscoring the car’s speed and his strategic mind. This year further cemented Rahal’s reputation as one of the most intelligent and adaptable drivers in American open-wheel racing.
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.
