This is the Ferrari Dino 196 S Targa Florio 1960 #172 - 7th Place R. Rodriguez / P. Rodriguez in 1:18 scale by Tecnomodel.
The Ferrari Dino 196 S, car #172, secured a remarkable 7th place at the grueling 1960 Targa Florio, driven by the young Mexican brothers Ricardo and Pedro Rodríguez. At just 18 and 20 years old respectively, the Rodríguez brothers stunned the European racing world with their raw speed and maturity on one of motorsport’s most demanding road courses. The Targa Florio, run through the narrow, twisting mountain roads of Sicily, was infamous for its danger and difficulty, favoring local knowledge and fearless precision. Their finish in the nimble, high-revving Dino 196 S not only showcased Ferrari’s trust in emerging talent but also marked the Rodríguez brothers as future stars of international racing.
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.
