1991 AGS JH25B Tarquini (German GP)

The JH25B car was designed by Aldo Costa and powered by the 3.5-litre Ford DFR V8 engine. The car was one of the slowest on the grid and the drivers usually were not able to qualify. Gabriele Tarquini finished 8th in the first round of the Championship, USA Grand Prix at Phoenix, and then qualified again only twice but retired from the races. The second car of the team was driven by Stefan Johansson (in the first two rounds) and Fabrizio Barbazza (next ten races) never qualified for the race.

Automobiles Gonfaronnaises Sportives had significant financial problems, and the team was sold to Italian businessmen Patrizio Cantù and Gabriele Raffanelli. From the 1991 Italian Grand Prix, the JH25B was replaced by the JH27, but the new chassis was even worse than the JH25B, and three races later, AGS closed down.

Starting from the 1991 French Grand Prix AGS changed white livery to the blue one.  The model represents the car driven by Gabriele Tarquini in the 1991 German Grand Prix.
