Minichamps Introduces a Record-Breaker

There were new announcements from Exoto and Minichamps today.

Exoto announced a few new 1:43 racing transporters. These are of the privateer sportscar Gelo racing team from the mid-seventies (GP009), the 1957 Maserati team (GP011), and the 1956 Ferrari team (GP012).

Minichamps also announced a couple of interesting new 1:43 subjects. The first is the car that holds the ice world speed record in the hands of four time World Rally Champion Juha Kankkunen, a Bentley Continental GT (P139026).

The second is a resin replica, as opposed to diecast metal, I assume inspired by Spark, of Hermann Tilke’s Lamborghini Gallardo from this year’s Nurburgring 24 Hours (P071018). Tilke is more famous for designing the recent new circuits to have joined the F1 calendar
