Each model has been meticulously researched to capture the unique characteristics and subtle details of the individual cars, all faithfully reproduced in 1\/18 scale.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the No. 15 Ferrari 250 GTO, with chassis number 3505GT, featuring an eye-catching pale green body. This car won the 11th round of the World Sportscar Championship, the Goodwood Tourist Trophy, on August 18, 1962. Notably, it was the first right-hand-drive 250 GTO, a detail faithfully replicated in this mini car model. The car was originally ordered by none other than Sir Stirling Moss, though it was driven to victory in the final race by Innes Ireland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you open the engine hood, which is secured with leather hood straps just like the real car, you'll find a precisely recreated dry-sump V12 3-liter SOHC engine. Also noteworthy are the high-resolution details of the engine ancillaries, such as the various wiring and the six-barrel Weber 38DCN downdraft carburetors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe model accurately reproduces the interior features of the 250GTO, which is free of frills, such as the base of the shift lever with the traditional Ferrari shift gate cut off, and the tachometer seen through the large-diameter steering wheel with a slender wooden rim. The actual car is available in both left-hand drive and right-hand drive versions depending on the chassis number, and the research into these is also accurate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trunk lid can be opened and closed. Inside the trunk, a spare Borrani wire wheel is secured with a leather belt, and even the fuel tank behind it is reproduced. The 250GTO's fuel tank holds 133 liters, a large capacity only found in a racing car, and being able to visually confirm this fact is one of the joys of this high-resolution miniature car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot only can the doors, engine hood, and trunk lid be opened and closed, but upon closer inspection, even the quick fuel filler cap at the rear of the vehicle can be opened and closed. This is yet another example of the attention to detail shown by the Kyosho miniature car development team, who aimed to reproduce details above and beyond the standard for a 1\/18 scale die-cast miniature car. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kyosho Diecast","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42261201616999,"sku":"KS08438C","price":495.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0244\/0209\/files\/Kyosho-ks08438c-1962Ferrari250GTO-LightGreen_15-1_18-promo.jpg?v=1773881540","url":"https:\/\/www.drivebuy.net.au\/products\/1962-ferrari-250-gto-15-1-18-kyosho-original-diecast-light-green","provider":"DriveBuy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
