Benetton B186
The Benetton B186 was the first car to be built and raced by the Benetton team. Driven by Gerhard Berger and Teo Fabi, it set two pole positions, three fastest laps, and took first place at the 1986 Mexican Grand Prix.
The B186 is possibly the most powerful Grand Prix car ever built. The B186 could produce over 1400 hp in the qualifying trim of its 1500cc 4 cylinder engine. That set it about 600 bhp above its competitors at the time!
The livery was the first and arguably the most attractive of the Benetton-themed liveries spanning the four years before Camel tobacco took over as main sponsor… making it the second time (since JPS) that Camel destroyed a classic livery!
