Kyosho Original Ferrari 250GTO Red Diecast Model KS08438R 1/18 [KYOSHO]

■With opening/closing mechanism This is a competition model that was completed with all of Ferrari's philosophy in order to participate in the Sports Car World Championship, where the regulations changed from sports prototype cars to mass-produced GT cars in 1962. Only 39 units were produced. 250 means displacement per cylinder, and GTO is named after the initials of Gran Turismo Omologato (meaning it has obtained official approval to participate in GT racing). The early 1960s was a time when pure racing cars were moving to mid-engine systems to improve maneuverability, but the FR system was still the mainstream for production car-based racing cars. The 250GTO is no exception, with an FR system that uses a conventional steel tubular frame, and on top of that is a sleek all-aluminum fastback body designed by Sergio Scaglietti. Housed within the low front nose with its distinctive D-shaped triple intake is a 3ℓ V12 SOHC engine that uses a dry sump system, and when combined with a Weber 6 carburetor, produces 300ps/35kg-m (there are various theories). Coupled with the car's weight of just under 1 ton, its performance is outstanding even across the world, and it has won three consecutive championships in the sports car championship, which is its favorite. 1/18 Ferrari 250GTO Red Diecast Model
