By relocating the rear suspension inboard and redesigning the placement of the fuel tanks and exhaust system, the car maximized the Venturi effect and delivered overwhelming speed. Mario Andretti immediately showcased its potential with a pole‑to‑flag victory, and together with Ronnie Peterson, the pair continued their dominant campaign throughout the season. Andretti claimed five wins, Peterson added another, and the team secured both the Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championships before the final round. With its stunning body design and iconic black livery, the Lotus Type 79 earned the nickname “Black Beauty.” It remains one of the most epoch‑making machines in the history of Formula One.
