1987 Ferrari F40 Rosso Corsa Ex Nigel Mansell in 1:18 scale
This is the 1987 Ferrari F40 Rosso Corsa Ex Nigel Mansell in 1:18 scale by BBR.
This extraordinary car was donated as a welcome gift when he entered in the team by Enzo Ferrari to Nigel Mansell, the British driver who won the F1 world championship in 1992 and the American Cart championship in 1993.
The Ferrari F40 is a sports car produced by the Italian car manufacturer Ferrari, built between 1987 and 1998, whose heir was the F50.
Created to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Modena's car manufacturer, the "F40" was previewed to the press at the civic center of Maranello, on July 21, 1987, by Enzo Ferrari, Leonardo Fioravanti and Nicola Materazzi. In the following month of September it was exhibited to the public during the Frankfurt Motor Show.
Among other peculiarities, the car was the first road car in Ferrari history to be built with various composite materials, such as Kevlar for the chassis, glass fibre for the bodywork, aeronautical resins for the tanks and plexiglass for the side windows which were only sliding for the first 50 cars. At the time of its presentation, it was the fastest road car ever built with its declared 324 km/h (often significantly exceeded in various tests).
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. BBR models are
known for their accuracy of scale, shape and detail throughout the industry. 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.
BBR models are usually produced in very small production quantities that often sell out at "pre-order"
