Designed by former Chief Designer for the Scuderia Ferrari and Benetton team, South African Rory Byrne built this unique looking car in 1982 with twin rear wings and front wing mounted radiators. This car was named TG183 as it was built by a racing form called Toleman with engine specialist firm Brain Hart supplying it with a 1.5 litre inline four cylinder turbo engine.
Driven by British Derek Warwick first in the 1982 season the Toleman-Hart sponsored TG183 did not achieve much but the very next year, this car sponsored by the famous Italian home appliance brand Candy (now a subsidiary of Haier) completed the race and came in 4th position at the Dutch GP earning the Toleman team, it's first points.
