# Ferrari 250 TR Scuderia Ferrari SpA No. 11 Frère Gendebien Winner 24h Le Mans 1960 Tecnomodel 1:18

> A 1:18 scale model of the #11 Ferrari 250 TR that gave Gendebien and Frère a 1-2-3 sweep for Scuderia Ferrari at Le Mans 1960, reproduced in resin by Tecnomodel.

The 1960 24 Heures du Mans stands as one of the cleaner statements of Ferrari dominance in that era: three cars entered, three cars on the podium. The 1:18 scale model from Tecnomodel captures the actual winner — chassis 0774 TR, race number 11, driven by Olivier Gendebien and Paul Frère — in the unadorned rosso corsa that works Ferrari entries wore before commercial sponsorship arrived.

## A 3.0-Litre V12 in a Scaglietti Spider Shell

The Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa — the name referring to the red-painted cam covers on its Colombo-derived V12 — evolved through successive TR58, TR59 and TR60 specifications over three seasons. The 1960 car ran in TR59/60 configuration: a 2,953 cc V12 fed by multiple Weber carburettors producing around 300 bhp in a bodyshell styled by Scaglietti. That distinctive pontoon-fender spider design, with its low-cut doors and extended bonnet, is immediately identifiable and accounts for much of the car's enduring visual appeal among collectors.

## 26–27 June 1960: Gendebien, Frère and Ferrari 1-2-3

On 26–27 June 1960 at the Circuit de la Sarthe, the #11 Ferrari 250 TR completed 315 laps — 2,537.215 km — to take overall victory. The win was Gendebien's second consecutive Le Mans triumph and would be followed by two more in 1961 and 1962, giving him four in total. His co-driver Paul Frère, a Belgian racing driver and automotive journalist, recorded this as the high point of his competition career. Behind them, the #14 and #15 Ferraris completed the podium, rounding out a Ferrari clean sweep that remains one of the most emphatic results in the race's history.

## Tecnomodel and the Case for Resin at 1:18

Tecnomodel is an Italian specialist in hand-built resin model cars across 1:18 and 1:43 scales, with a catalogue weighted towards historically significant racing machinery. Resin construction allows the manufacturer to reproduce fine mechanical and surface detail — cam covers, carburettor stacks, wire wheels — that pressings in diecast zinc alloy cannot achieve at this scale. This specific release reproduces the #11 car in its race-correct rosso corsa livery with white race numbers, matching the car as it ran at Le Mans in 1960.

## Placing It in the Collection

The #11 Ferrari 250 TR pairs naturally with the #14 and #15 cars from the same race to recreate the full 1960 Le Mans podium — one of the more coherent three-piece sets available in 1:18. Collectors building a Gendebien narrative can extend the group to the 1958 Le Mans winner (chassis 0728, co-driven with Phil Hill) and the Ferrari 330 TRI/LM that gave him his fourth victory in 1962. For those focused on the 250 family, this model sits alongside the Ferrari 250 GTO as a landmark in the bloodline.
