This is the Ferrari 512S 5.0L V12 #6 1970 24h Le Mans Ignazio Giunti Nino Vaccarella in 1:18 scale by WERK83.
At the 1970 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Ferrari 512 S Long Tail #6, fielded by SEFAC Ferrari, was driven by Ignazio Giunti and Nino Vaccarella. This race was notable for the intense competition between Ferrari and Porsche, with both manufacturers introducing long-tail versions of their cars to maximize top speed on the Mulsanne Straight. Vaccarella qualified the #6 Ferrari impressively, just 0.3 seconds behind the pole-sitting Porsche 917 LH, showcasing the car's potential despite its heavier weight . However, the race proved challenging for Ferrari; the #6 car retired after just 30 minutes due to an oil leak . This edition of Le Mans was also significant for its portrayal in the film "Le Mans," starring Steve McQueen, which immortalized the era's racing drama.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. These diecast
models are exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Interior detail is hand assembled and easily
visible. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used for a most
authentic replication.
