This is the Ferrari 512 S 5.0L V12 #7 1970 24h Le Mans in 1:43 scale by Looksmart.

At the 1970 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Ferrari 512 S 5.0 L V12 #7 run by S.E.F.A.C. Ferrari was piloted by Derek Bell and Ronnie Peterson, both making one of their earliest appearances at the famed endurance classic. Bell, a future multiple Le Mans winner, and Peterson, the acclaimed Swedish “Super Swede” known for his blistering speed in Formula 1, started the race strongly from seventh on the grid but ultimately retired with mechanical failure before the finish — a testament to how brutal the 24-hour marathon at Circuit de la Sarthe can be on even the fastest machinery. What sets the 1970 Le Mans apart is the fierce Porsche 917 vs. Ferrari 512S battle amid changing weather and treacherous conditions, making it one of the most dramatic and attrition-filled editions of the race in the classic endurance era.
