This machine, introduced at the first race of the season, the Argentine Grand Prix, had a slender body based on a sharp wedge shape. The inside of the side pontoons were shaped like an upside-down wing, which was used to generate downforce through ground effect. The innovative idea of increasing the tire's grip on the ground without increasing air resistance allowed the car to boast overwhelming cornering speeds. This year, it was driven by Mario Andretti and Gunnar Nilsson. Andretti won the Western United States Grand Prix, Spanish Grand Prix, French Grand Prix, and Italian Grand Prix, and Nilsson also won the Belgian Grand Prix. The Type 78, which was used until the first half of 1978, made a strong impression of the prestigious brand's revival.
