This is the Ferrari #27 1981 Season Gilles Villeneuve in 1:24 scale w/ Showcase by Edicola.
The Ferrari #27, driven by Gilles Villeneuve during the 1981 Formula 1 season, became one of the most iconic driver-car combinations in Grand Prix history. Villeneuve was celebrated for his fearless, spectacular driving style, extraordinary car control, and ability to push machinery beyond its limits, earning admiration from fans and competitors alike. His Ferrari 126CK was Ferrari's first turbocharged Formula 1 car, featuring a revolutionary 1.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine that delivered immense power but was challenging to manage due to early turbo lag and handling characteristics.

Although the car was demanding, Villeneuve's incredible skill made the #27 Ferrari one of the most memorable machines of the early 1980s.
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.
