Ferrari Dino 196 S Press Car 1959 in 1:18 scale
This is the Ferrari Dino 196 S Press Car 1959 in 1:18 scale by Tecnomodel.
The 1959 Ferrari Dino 196 S Press Car was a pivotal machine in Ferrari's transition toward smaller-displacement, high-revving sports racers, setting it apart with its advanced engineering and agility. Powered by a 2.0-liter V6 designed by Vittorio Jano and named in honor of Enzo Ferrari’s late son, Dino, the car was lightweight, mid-engined, and incredibly nimble—traits that foreshadowed the future of racing car design. As a press car, it played a critical role in broadcasting Ferrari’s innovation to the world, emphasizing precision handling over brute force, a concept that would influence generations of race and road cars to come.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. Resin models are
exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Each model is created using a variety of production
processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite material referred to in the
industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used
for the most authentic replication.
