Ferrari 512S No. 6 Le Mans 24H 1970 I. Giunti/ N. Vaccarella in 1:43 scale
This is the Ferrari 512S No. 6 Le Mans 24H 1970 I. Giunti/ N. Vaccarella in 1:43 scale by Looksmart.
The Ferrari 512S No. 6 was driven by Italian Ferrari factory stars Ignazio Giunti and Nino Vaccarella at the 1970 24 Hours of Le Mans. Giunti was one of Italy’s most promising young endurance racers, known for his speed and smooth driving style, while Vaccarella was a Le Mans veteran who had won the race outright in 1964 with Ferrari. The 512S was Ferrari’s formidable answer to the Porsche 917, powered by a spectacular 5.0-liter V12 producing around 550 horsepower and featuring a lightweight tubular-steel chassis, independent suspension, and sophisticated aerodynamics. Its long, low body and enormous rear-mounted wing were optimized for the high-speed Le Mans circuit, while the mid-engine layout provided excellent traction and balance. The 512S’s combination of immense V12 power, exotic engineering, and dramatic wedge-shaped styling made it one of the defining sports prototypes of the 1970 endurance-racing era.
Excellent quality and finish. Beautifully crafted and exquisitely detailed. Models are hand
painted, decorated and assembled. Beautiful detail and accuracy of shape and scale. Photo
etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are also used. Each model
comes with its own acrylic display case.
