Wow! the first half of 2017 is going to be an exciting one! The final deliveries from GT Spirit and OttOmobile have just been announced, with a few surprises too. We’ll start with GTS, you have probably already noticed the feature model, 1:12 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona, and in red too. I believe this is their first official Ferrari since the 458 LB Performance release. One that didn’t go so smoothly… Seems they settled their differences with Ferrari. This 365/4 Daytona is due April 2017.
From the OttOmobile camp comes another Ferrari in race livery, the 1:18 Ferrari 308 GTB Gr.4 Pioneer. Model features some classic livery of the day. This one is limited to 1750 pieces worldwide. Arrival date in March 2017. Find the remaining models from GT Spirit and OttOmobile below.
GT Spirit:
MERCEDES-AMG SL 63 – march
AC SCHNITZER ACL2 – March
MERCEDES-AMG GLS 63 – April
OttOmobile:
Ford Focus RS – April
About the 365… “Produced between 1968 and 1973, the “Daytona” (in reference to the victory of the 330 P4 at the 24 Hours of Daytona 1967) is the response of the manufacturer of Maranello to the Ford GT40 and Lamborghini Miura, stars of the time. Its front-mounted V12 engine delivers 352 horsepower and propels the “Daytona” up to 281 km / h. It then became the fastest supercar in the world. The 1406 copies of this car designed by Pininfarina are among the most sought-after horsepower models.”
Product# GT117 / GT146 / GT119 / GT118 / OT657 / OT730
Quite disappointed by the GT Spirit selection for this 2 months… No recent sportcars. Maybe for the next time ;-)
But the Daytona looks cool, not in my theme but very cool :-)
There is no mention of ‘Ferrari’ anywhere on the GT Spirit web page. The detail under the images mentions ‘the Maranello manufacturer’ but not the brand specifically…..
This model is shown on their web site.
Nice to see the big Daytona model, though it would be nice to see another color offered; maybe dark blue…..rather than just another “resale red” model.
And I thought British Racing Green was awful! OMG! I think we can find this one in the discount department very soon…
Im not sure about the tone of red color on that rally Ferrari…
