An alternative to the Quartzo Lotus 72E is in the works from the AUTOart brand. Their 1:18 scale version will focus on a sealed, composite replica. Though the version from Quartzo focused on the ’74 car the AUTOart will feature the ’73 in four variants, our feature being the 1973 Fittipaldi #1 car. The others include: Fittipaldi #1 with figurine, Peterson #2, and Peterson #2 with figurine. No ETA is available on either model today.
Product# 87327 – 87330
I hope the AA versions will at least include a decal set to reproduce the full graphics used on the cars.
