1965 Porsche 904 GTS

Spark's 1:43 scale Porsche 904 replicates a sports car icon ... Porsche was already challenging Ferrari in the mid-1960s, as was Ford with its GT40, for sports car supremacy in the major European races. Think Le Mans and the Targa Florio.

1967 Alpine A210 Le Mans #46

Spark's latest Le Mans racer a long-tailed French blend ... Separating Alpine from Renault is difficult as their histories are so entwined, as is that of Gordini, although fewer may recognize that name. But in the 1960s all three came together as Gordini-tuned Renault engines powered Alpine racers designed for the 24 Hours of Le... Continue Reading →

Diecast: Bugatti Chiron Sport

Autoart's 1:18 hypercar looks crazy fast even at rest ... What happens in the auto world when the term “supercar” isn’t descriptive enough?

Die-cast: CMF’s Ferrari 375 MM Scaglietti Coupe

Ferrari Scaglietti Coupe a sexy dart ... The Ferrari 375 MM Scaglietti Coupe is a sexy dart of a sports car with a distinctively long nose that may have brought automotive overcompensation to a new level in 1953. Now CMF, a new die-cast firm to me, delivers a beautifully sculpted and executed resin version of... Continue Reading →

Ford GT, old or new, beautiful in any form ...

Die-cast: CMC’s 1952 Jaguar C-Type

CMC's detail is drop-dead gorgeous on Jag C-Type ... Jaguar was dominant at Le Mans in the 1950s as a series of its sports cars were developed into racers.

Die-cast: Ixo’s Ferrari 275LM 1965 Le Mans winner

Ferrari's final Le Mans winner, the 275LM  … Ferrari established itself as an endurance racing powerhouse in the 1950s and early 1960s.

Die-cast: Autoart’s Nissan GT-R LM Nismo

Nissan GT-R surprisingly put the engine up front ... Since the mid-1960s most Le Mans-style prototype racers have put the engine behind the cockpit.
