Ford GT40 4.9L V8 #6 Winner 1969 24h Le Mans in 1:12 scale
This is the Ford GT40 4.9L V8 #6 Winner 1969 24h Le Mans in 1:12 scale by WERK 83.
The Ford GT40 No.6, powered by a 4.9L V8 and fielded by JW Automotive Engineering, triumphed at the 1969 24 Hours of Le Mans with Jacky Ickx and Jackie Oliver behind the wheel. Ickx famously protested the traditional running start by walking to his car rather than sprinting, emphasizing safety — a moment that changed Le Mans history. The race ended in one of the closest finishes ever, with Ickx narrowly defeating the Porsche 908 after a dramatic final-lap battle. This victory marked the GT40’s fourth consecutive Le Mans win, solidifying its legacy as one of endurance racing’s greatest icons.
Werk83 1:18 scale diecast models are highly detailed collector pieces. Known for their precise proportions, accurate sponsor liveries, and finely replicated interiors and engines, Werk83 aims to capture the raw spirit of motorsport machines. These models are made of diecast metal with authentic tampo-printed graphics, realistic wheels and tires, detailed cockpits with roll cages and racing seats, and opening parts on select releases.
