McLaren F1 GTR Short Tail 1996 2h Brasilia in 1:18 scale
This is the McLaren F1 GTR Short tail 1996 2h Brasilia in 1:18 scale by Solido.
The McLaren F1 GTR Short Tail that competed in the 1996 2 Hours of Brasília was a remarkable example of McLaren’s dominance in GT racing during the mid-1990s. This race was part of the BPR Global GT Series, known for attracting a diverse field of high-performance GT cars from manufacturers like Porsche, Ferrari, and McLaren. The car featured the iconic BMW V12 engine in a lightweight, aerodynamically optimized short-tail configuration, offering a balance of speed and agility suited for the fast and twisty Brasília circuit. Drivers such as Derek Bell and JJ Lehto piloted McLaren GTRs that season, bringing both endurance expertise and Formula 1 precision to the cockpit. What set this race apart was the combination of Brazil’s tropical heat and the relatively short, intense 2-hour format, which tested both car reliability and driver stamina, contrasting with the longer 4-6 hour BPR events that demanded more conservative endurance strategies.
This exquisite model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish.
Other features include:
• Opening Doors
• Accurate and highly detailed Interior
• Accuracy of scale and exterior shape
