Ferrari Dino 196 S Le Mans 24h 1959 #23 DNF G. Scarlatti/ G. Cabianca in 1:18 scale
This is the Ferrari Dino 196 S Le Mans 24h 1959 #23 DNF G. Scarlatti/ G. Cabianca in 1:18 scale by Tecnomodel.
The Ferrari Dino 196 S, car #23, was entered in the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans with Italian drivers Giorgio Scarlatti and Giulio Cabianca, but the car retired early due to engine failure. Both Scarlatti and Cabianca were seasoned racers with strong ties to Ferrari, known for their skill in endurance and road racing. The 1959 Le Mans race was particularly notable for the increasing speeds and intensifying rivalry between Ferrari and Aston Martin, with Aston ultimately claiming its first and only overall victory. This edition also underscored the harsh demands of 24-hour competition, where even lightweight, agile prototypes like the Dino 196 S struggled to survive the relentless pace. Though the #23 car did not finish, its presence reflected Ferrari’s commitment to developing smaller-displacement, high-revving race cars alongside its more powerful V12 machines.
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.
