Collection Le Mans - Box 6 - Ford & Ferrari

Le Mans - Ford GTLM - 2016

Exactly fifty years after the historic event was revived in 1966, Ford is back to do battle with Scuderia Ferrari on the La Sarthe circuit. On the contrary, the American giant has chosen the occasion carefully, announcing its return to the Le Mans 24 Hours as early as 2015 and preparing a car that is the great-granddaughter of the formidable GT40 MK II that took all three steps of the podium half a century earlier.

With its mechanics and aerodynamic profiles, it's a masterpiece to display and admire!

Le Mans - Ferrari 275 LM - 1965

No other Italian car has taken its crew to the highest step of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This success, more than any other, crowned the career of the Ferrari 250 LM (or 275 LM), forced by its lack of homologation as a GT car to compete against real prototypes.

From the mechanics to the aerodynamics, this is a masterpiece to be admired and displayed!
