In 1953, Gianni Lancia tasked Vittorio Jano to head a team of engineers to build a single-seat race car to compete in Formula 1, and the result was the D50. Styling attributes included fuel tanks mounted on either side of the cockpit. The Ferrari-engineered 1956 version featured quad side-exit exhausts and was driven that year by Juan Manuel Fangio to claim his fourth Formula 1 World Drivers’ Championship.
The fiberglass bodywork is finished in red and is accented by a yellow stripe over the nose. Additional features include body-color side mirrors and faux side fuel tanks, a removable hood panel with a faux hood scoop and vents, white #20 race numbers, a plastic windscreen, and a mesh grille. The car measures approximately 89″ long, 35″ wide, and 27″ to the top of the windscreen, and it weighs 210 pounds.
The 8″ white-finished steel wheels wear 4.80-4.00 Load Star tires. Braking is provided by a drilled disc brake on the rear axle. Faux quad exhaust outlets feature on each side.
The rear bodywork features Argentinian flags and white Juan Manuel Fangio-style signatures as well as an aluminum fuel filler cap that reveals access to the charging plug point.
The cockpit features a single seat with a matching headrest and the three-spoke steering wheel, which are upholstered in brown faux leather. The body-color dashboard has an analog clock on the left side and a faux tachometer on the right, the latter of which is inset with a digital voltage display. A power button is positioned on the right side, and a rocker switch below the dash activates forward or reverse.
The 24-volt, 500-watt electric motor is linked to a drive chain and is mounted to the rear section of the aluminum frame. The left pedal shown is a footrest, and the pedals are adjustable for leg length.
