Benetton B194/B195

Condition: Acrylic case with traces of storage.

The Benetton B194/B195 Showcar is a unique collectible released to celebrate Michael Schumacher's second World Championship title. This Minichamps "showcar" is an interesting hybrid: it combines the aerodynamic shape of the 1994 car with the winning Mild Seven Benetton Renault livery from the 1995 season. Featuring the proud No. 1 on the nose cone, it symbolizes the German driver's dominance during this era. It is a perfect addition for those documenting the "Red Baron's" triumphs and collectors who value rare presentation versions released in limited numbers.

Did you know? This car was considered so difficult to drive that Schumacher’s teammates often called it "undriveable." The secret to its speed lay in a design tailored specifically to Michael’s unique style: he preferred an extremely "pointy" front-end setup that made the car incredibly twitchy. When Johnny Herbert tried to use Michael’s settings, he couldn't complete a single lap without spinning. On this machine, Schumacher became the youngest double World Champion in history at that time.
