1/18 BBR 1979 Ferrari 512 BB 'Press Car' - and similar items

Although not expressly intended for racing, the 512BB enjoyed a fairly long racing career. After an initial configuration, with three cars that participated in the 1978 24 Hours of Le Mans, the 512BB was developed with the help of the company in a more massive way, with completely revised aerodynamics and further prepared mechanics. These cars (512BB-LM) were sold to various customers, such as NART, Ecurie Francorchamps, Charles Pozzi, Scuderia Bellancauto and other professional level teams. In 1980, a development was perfected, which among other things led to a weight reduction of around 120kg and improved aerodynamics. Having never been homologated in Group 5, the 512BB-LM raced in the IMSA-GTX category, sometimes obtaining good results although often lacking in reliability. These cars were used in the World Endurance Championship and IMSA until the mid-1980s.
