The car was most famous for its "double-flat bottom" car that made it difficult to drive. The car only achieved two podiums and a total of 21 points. The F92AT version was introduced at a test day in August held at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza circuit. The new version incorporated a seven-speed transverse gearbox, with a modified front suspension. It also included a more rigid engine mounting system and a up to date version of the underwing.cite book | last = Henry | first = Alan | authorlink = Alan Henry | title = Autocourse 1992-93 | origyear = 1992 | origmonth = December | publisher = Hazelton Publishing | isbn = 0-9051-3896-1 | pages = p. 81]
