Ferrari F1 156 Sharknose #4 Winner 1961 British GP Wolfgang Von Trips in 1:18 scale
This is the Ferrari F1 156 Sharknose #4 Winner 1961 British GP Wolfgang Von Trips in 1:18 scale by WERK83.
The Ferrari 156 F1 “Sharknose” #4 gave German driver Wolfgang von Trips a memorable victory at the 1961 British Grand Prix at Aintree, leading 69 of the 75 laps and finishing 46 seconds ahead of teammate Phil Hill. Von Trips was one of Ferrari’s leading drivers and was battling Hill for the 1961 World Championship; tragically, his life was cut short later that season at Monza. The 156 was revolutionary for Ferrari, featuring a mid-mounted 1.5-liter 120-degree V6 producing about 190 hp and a low center of gravity that improved handling and stability. Its most recognizable feature was the pointed nose with twin diagonal air intakes, giving it the famous “Sharknose” nickname and making it one of the most visually distinctive Formula 1 cars of the early 1960s.
