Ferrari F1 312T3 #11 Winner 1978 US Grand Prix Watkins Glen Carlos Reutemann in 1:12 scale
One of Ferrari's most memorable Formula One victories of the late 1970s came at the legendary Watkins Glen International circuit in upstate New York. On October 1, 1978, driving the iconic Ferrari 312T3, Carlos Reutemann delivered a commanding performance to win the United States Grand Prix East after starting from the front row. He finished nearly 20 seconds ahead of Alan Jones, while pole-sitter and newly crowned World Champion Mario Andretti retired with mechanical problems.
The Ferrari 312T3 represented the final evolution of Ferrari's famous flat-12 powered 312T series. Designed by Mauro Forghieri, the T3 featured a new chassis and suspension while retaining Ferrari's legendary naturally aspirated flat-12 engine, producing approximately 515 horsepower. Although Lotus dominated the 1978 season with its revolutionary ground-effect cars, Reutemann's skill behind the wheel earned Ferrari four victories that year—including this memorable triumph at Watkins Glen.
This beautifully detailed replica captures the #11 Ferrari 312T3 exactly as it crossed the finish line at Watkins Glen, making it an essential addition for Ferrari enthusiasts, Formula One collectors, and fans of one of America's most historic Grand Prix venues.
