The Arrows A2 was a Formula One racing car designed by Tony Southgate and Dave Wass, and the Arrows team used it in the second half of the 1979 season with Riccardo Patrese and Jochen Mass driving. Its Cosworth DFV V8 engine and gearbox sat at a four-degree incline so that aerodynamic underfloor sections could run across the full width of the chassis. The car made a great deal of downforce but at the expense of handling, and it was relatively unsuccessful, debuting well down the field at the French Grand Prix and scoring only two sixth places, both for Mass. Because it was so radical, the previous A1 was brought back for a last entry and Southgate began the more conventional A3.
