Model: Ford GT40
Release: Kyosho 1/64 USA Sport Car Collection 2
Ebay link: Kyosho Ford GT40
Why it is in the collection : This car and this livery are in the Pantheon of Automobile. You almost cannot go more mythic than a racing Ford GT40 in Gulf livery.
It reminds of course LeMans, vintage racing, Jacky Ickx … And it is so damn beautiful.
Kyosho has exaggerated the lower style of the car, and in my opinion, it is a little too big for strict 1/64. At least, when you compare it to an AutoWorld that is supposed to be perfectly scaled.
Nonetheless, this GT40 has a particular place in my collection. Sadly I own only one version of the 3 but I consider myself very happy to have one.
I definitely agree the car is SLAMMED, almost too much…but damn is it awesome. Does it roll or is it too low?
Thank you! It rolls but with “difficulties”. You must help it.
