Available for auction is a rare and exquisite masterpiece that pays homage to a legendary moment in motorsport history - the 1:8 Scale Model Ferrari 250 GTO Limited Edition #005 of #199. This meticulously crafted model captures the essence of the iconic race car exactly as it graced the Nürburgring 1000KM on the 19th of May 1963, driven by the remarkable duo of Pierre Noblet and Jean Guichet. Limited to an exclusive edition of only 199 pieces worldwide with an MSRP of $19,995, this model is a true collector's gem.



Hand-built and meticulously assembled by a select team of skilled craftsmen, each model is a true labor of love and dedication. Measuring over an impressive 56 cm/22 inches in length, this 1:8 scale replica showcases the finest quality materials, ensuring an unparalleled level of authenticity and attention to detail. Drawing on over 4000 hours of meticulous development, and an additional 400 hours of precise construction for each individual model, this masterpiece is a testament to the commitment and passion that went into its creation.



Boasting thousands of precisely engineered parts, including intricate castings, precision photo-etchings, and CNC machined metal components, this model is a marvel of engineering artistry. The model's creation adheres strictly to the original CAD designs, paint codes, and material specifications from Ferrari, ensuring an unparalleled level of accuracy that captures the spirit of the iconic 250 GTO.



The ultimate expression of the 250 GT series, the Ferrari 250 GTO model was the car that encapsulated Ferrari’s philosophy best: achieving the highest level of performance and styling. Its famed charisma came not only from its innumerable racing victories but from the unique sum of its parts. A 2,953cc Columbo V12 engine coupled to a new 5-speed gearbox with a Sergio Scaglietti-designed body on top of a 250 GT chassis; the 250 GTO represented the pinnacle of 250 GT development in competition form, whilst remaining a legitimate road car. In recent years, original examples have repeatedly set price records. Chassis 3413 GT sold at auction in 2018 for $48.4 million and, later that same year, chassis 4153 GT was sold in a private sale for a reported $70 million.



The 250 GTO was built on a 2400mm wheelbase and, although the chassis was built along the same lines as the 250 GT SWB on which it was derived, it used smaller section tubing, with additional bracing for increased torsional rigidity. Four wheel disc brakes were fitted, with a cable-operated handbrake to the rear wheels. The 3-litre V12 power unit was essentially a 250 TR specification engine, producing a claimed power output of 300 bhp, which was paired with a new 5-speed, all synchromesh gearbox.



Owning this limited edition 1:8 Scale Model Ferrari 250 GTO is not just a possession; it's a rare opportunity to own a piece of automotive history meticulously recreated in stunning detail. With its undeniable allure and impeccable craftsmanship, this model stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Ferrari 250 GTO and the unwavering commitment to excellence that defines Ferrari’s iconic history. Don't miss your chance to be one of the privileged few to own this extraordinary masterpiece. The buyer is responsible for shipping, handling, and fees.
