Ferrari 712 Can Am Watkins Glen 1972 #40 Team NART J.P. Jarier in 1:43 scale
This is the Ferrari 712 Can Am Watkins Glen 1972 #40 Team NART J.P. Jarier in 1:43 scale by Tecnomodel.
The Ferrari 712 Can-Am #40, entered by North American Racing Team and driven by Jean-Pierre Jarier, competed at the 1972 Can-Am Watkins Glen race during Ferrari’s continued but limited involvement in the Can-Am series. Jarier, a talented French driver who would later race extensively in Formula One, was known for his speed and aggressive style, often extracting strong performances from challenging machinery. The Ferrari 712 Can-Am remained one of the most distinctive cars on the grid thanks to its huge 7.0-liter flat-12 engine, delivering immense power and a unique high-revving character compared to the big-block V8s used by dominant rivals like McLaren. However, its heavier weight and complexity made it difficult to handle on fast, flowing tracks like Watkins Glen. Despite these challenges, the car stood apart for its exotic engineering, striking Ferrari design, and unmistakable sound, making it one of the most memorable and unconventional entries in Can-Am history.
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.
