Ferrari 512M No. 12 Le Mans 24H 1971 S. Posey/ T. Adamowicz in 1:43 scale
This is the Ferrari 512M No. 12 Le Mans 24H 1971 S. Posey/ T. Adamowicz in 1:43 scale by Looksmart.
The Ferrari 512M No. 12 of the North American Racing Team (NART) was driven by Americans Sam Posey and T. Adamowicz at the 1971 24 Hours of Le Mans. Posey was a versatile endurance racer, journalist, and television commentator who competed at the highest levels of sports-car racing, while Teddy Adamowicz was an experienced American road racer with strong endurance-racing credentials. The 512M was Ferrari’s heavily revised evolution of the 512S, featuring improved aerodynamics, suspension, cooling, and a lightweight chassis surrounding its spectacular 5.0-liter V12, producing approximately 610 horsepower. Its long, low body was designed to maximize speed and stability on the Mulsanne Straight, while the NART car’s distinctive blue-and-white livery contrasted sharply with Ferrari’s traditional red. Although it could match the Porsche 917 for outright speed, the 512M’s combination of enormous V12 power and dramatic aerodynamic design made it one of the most memorable prototypes of the era.
Excellent quality and finish. Beautifully crafted and exquisitely detailed. Models are hand
painted, decorated and assembled. Beautiful detail and accuracy of shape and scale. Photo
etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are also used. Each model
comes with its own acrylic display case.
