This is the Ferrari 250TR61 3.0L V12 #11 1961 24h Le Mans Willy Mairesse in 1:18 scale by WERK 83.

The Ferrari 250 TR61 3.0-liter V12 #11 competed in the 1961 24 Hours of Le Mans with Willy Mairesse at the wheel, one of Ferrari’s most naturally fast and fearless sports-car drivers of the era. Mairesse was known for his raw speed and bravery on high-speed circuits like Le Mans, where commitment through long flat-out sections such as the Mulsanne Straight was essential. The TR61 itself represented the final evolution of Ferrari’s front-engined Testa Rossa, featuring distinctive aerodynamic tailfins designed to improve stability at extreme speeds. What set the 1961 race apart was Ferrari’s overwhelming dominance—securing a famous 1-2-3-4 finish overall—marking the peak of the front-engine sports-car era just before mid-engined designs reshaped endurance racing forever.
