This is the Ferrari 340 Mexico Spyder 1953 Press Gloss Red in 1:18 scale by Tecnomodel.
The 1953 Ferrari 340 Mexico Spyder in Press Gloss Red is a fierce and rare machine born for endurance racing at the highest level. Built specifically for the brutal Carrera Panamericana, it featured a powerful 4.1-liter V12 engine producing over 280 horsepower—an impressive figure for the era. What set the 340 Mexico Spyder apart was its combination of raw performance and sleek, race-ready design, crafted by Vignale with bold curves and aerodynamic detailing. As a press car, this specific example showcased Ferrari’s ambition to dominate on a global stage, blending exotic Italian styling with championship-winning capability. Its scarcity, purpose-built nature, and connection to one of the most dangerous races in history make it a standout icon in Ferrari’s early racing legacy.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. Resin models are
exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Each model is created using a variety of production
processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite material referred to in the
industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used
for the most authentic replication
