The Arrows A2 was a Formula One racing car used by the Arrows team in the latter half of the 1979 Formula One season. Unlike most contemporary Formula One cars, its engine was set with a four-degree angle.[3] And like most F1 cars at the time, the A2 ran with Ground effect aerodynamics and thus had no need of the traditional front wing.
