The 250 GTO is one of the most famous and fascinating models in the history of Ferrari. It was presented in 1962 in view of the new sporting regulations which gave great importance to the results obtained by the GTs. The GTO could be considered an extreme development of the 250 GT SWB, which in previous years had proven extremely competitive. The engine was the 2953cc V12, which gave around 300hp. The bodywork was characterized by the extreme aerodynamics of its shapes and also by its extraordinary general beauty. The GTO had several bodywork updates, with an entirely new version presented in 1964. A version with a 4-litre engine was also used in competition. The GTO's track record was impressive, with countless class and overall victories, and the cars continued to race until the late 1960s.
The 3505GT was the first right-hand drive GTO, and with the same bodywork characteristics as the 3413, 3445 and 3451GT. The car was purchased by UDT Laystall and is also remembered for its characteristic very light green colour. With the 3505GT, Innes Ireland achieved a splendid victory at the Tourist Trophy on 18 August 1962.
Kyosho was founded in Japan in 1963 and began producing RC model cars in 1970, becoming one of the world's leading manufacturers in this sector. Since 1992 the company also began to appear in the world of diecasts, with products in various scales, including 1:43 and 1:18. The Kyosho models, made in China, are very well detailed, with opening parts and accurate reproduction of mechanics and interiors.
