Ferrari fans have described the Ferrari 250 GTO as “the most revered and valuable classic car in the world” and as “…the ultimate expression of Ferrari: a homologation model with an indomitable spirit and a brilliant racing history.” No model car collection would be complete without the 250 GTO.

This 1:8 scale model is a faithful replica of Series 1 chassis number 3987GT, originally manufactured in 1962 for Luigi Chinetti NART (North American Racing Team) of New York, USA. It is currently owned by Ralph Lauren and is on display in L'art de L'automobile, the Ralph Lauren Collection at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.

Every detail has been captured using 3D laser scanning techniques of the original model, from the Ferrari Type 168/62 Colombo V12 engine to the "D" shaped panels secured with quarter-turn fasteners at the top of the front.

The metal rivets on the inside of the doors, as well as the detailed dashboard and switches, reveal the minimalist approach used to produce a racing thoroughbred.

The high-quality die-cast metal bodywork provides a truly authentic finish for the Ferrari Rosso Cina exterior paint color, and the large scale offers the opportunity to incorporate functional interior lights, headlights, brake lights and turn signals.
