What is special about this car?

Marlboro yellow & white instead of red & white. It was to done promote Marlboro lights, which were yellow and white in those days, unlike gold and white as they are now.

Not sure what you are looking for, but what's most special about the MP4/2 is that it's the most successful car in the history of Formula One (22 wins and 3 WDC in 3 seasons).

Manchild is correct. This was a test livery!

marlboro Lights were also golden these days, but on pictures and TV the color appeared as yellow and so they scrapped the idea.
