This is the Ferrari 250 TR61 3.0L V12 Spider #23 Winner 1962 12h Sebring in 1:18 scale by WERK 83.

The Ferrari 250 TR61 #23, a 3.0L V12 Spider, secured victory at the 1962 12 Hours of Sebring, driven by Joachim Bonnier and Lucien Bianchi. Joachim Bonnier, a skilled Swedish driver, was known for his versatility across sports cars and Formula racing, while Lucien Bianchi, a Belgian driver, brought remarkable endurance racing expertise, making them a formidable pairing. The Sebring 12-hour race, held on a former airfield in Florida, was infamous for its rough, bumpy surface, challenging drivers’ skill and cars’ durability alike. Unlike smoother European circuits, Sebring demanded reliability as much as speed, and the Ferrari 250 TR61’s combination of lightweight chassis and powerful V12 engine proved perfect for the grueling test. Their victory stood out not only for Ferrari’s engineering excellence but also for the drivers’ ability to maintain a relentless pace over 12 hours under punishing conditions, solidifying their place in sports car racing history.
