Plastic model car to assemble: Ford GT in 1:24 scale (Tamiya 24346)

We present the Ford GT model to assemble in 1:24 scale, which is a tribute to the legendary racing car that won four consecutive victories in the 24-hour Le Mans race from 1966 to 1969. The Ford GT, also known as the GT40 due to its low silhouette (40 inches in height), is an icon in the automotive world that saw a new version in 2015. The modern version of the Ford GT is a supercar that combines advanced technology and refined design, while continuing the legacy of its predecessor.

• Detailed interior: Bright elements of the dashboard and seats, which are separate parts in white color.
• Chrome elements: Wheels and oil tank made from chrome parts.
• Soft tires: Tires with a realistic tread pattern made from soft resin.

History of the Ford GT: The Ford GT is a car designed for racing, and its construction is based on a carbon monocoque with a centrally mounted 647 HP V6 Twin Turbo engine. Thanks to advanced aerodynamics and lightweight construction, the Ford GT achieves a top speed of 347 km/h. In 2016, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the victory at Le Mans, a specially modified version of the Ford GT triumphed again in its class at this legendary race.
