CMC renders it in 1:18 scale in die-cast metal with photo-etched and turned metal detail parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ferrari 275 GTB\/C Competizione occupies a precise and narrow niche in 1960s GT racing history: a factory-prepared lightweight derivative of the 275 GTB road car, built in a documented run of approximately 12 examples in 1966. Chassis 9051 is one of those genuine factory cars, and its appearance at the 500 km di Mugello that year ties it to one of the most atmospheric venues in Italian motorsport history. CMC has captured this exact entry — race number 98, drivers Roberto Sinibaldi and M. Grana — as a \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e scale model car in die-cast metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"the-real-car\"\u003eA Factory Racing Ferrari Built in Aluminium\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the standard 275 GTB was already a formidable road car, the Competizione variant was stripped and sharpened for circuit work. The bodywork was formed in aluminium rather than steel, Plexiglas replaced conventional glass, and the 3.3-litre Colombo V12 — displacing 3286cc — was prepared with dry-sump lubrication and tuned to produce approximately 280–300 hp in competition specification. With only around 12 examples constructed at Maranello, each chassis carries individual historical weight; chassis 9051 is among the documented entries in both race records and auction history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"mugello-1966\"\u003eRace Number 98 on the Original Mugello Road Circuit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 500 km di Mugello in 1966 was an Italian national GT endurance event run on the original Mugello circuit — a 66 km loop of public roads threading through the Tuscan Apennines, used for racing before the permanent facility that bears the name today was constructed. The circuit demanded respect; its length and topography placed a premium on mechanical reliability as much as outright speed. Chassis 9051 was entered under race number 98 by Roberto Sinibaldi, an Italian privateer who regularly campaigned GT Ferraris in national events during the mid-1960s, with M. Grana as co-driver. The red bodywork followed the Italian national racing colour that defined the country's GT entries of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"the-cmc-model\"\u003eCMC's Die-Cast Construction at 1:18\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCMC — Classic Model Cars — is a German manufacturer whose \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e replicas are distinguished by an exceptionally high part count, combining die-cast metal structures with photo-etched and turned metal detail components. Their approach to the 275 GTB\/C is consistent with this house philosophy: the model reproduces chassis 9051 in its exact 500 km di Mugello configuration, with race number 98 and the Sinibaldi\/Grana livery faithfully represented. For collectors, the material choice — die-cast metal rather than resin — means the model bears genuine weight and lends itself to close physical inspection of its engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CMC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57700384047488,"sku":"M211","price":629.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/8828\/7104\/files\/ferrari-275-gtb-c-competizione-ch-9051-n-98-500km-mugello-1966-r-sinibaldi-m-grana-silver-road-cars-447.png?v=1791888462","url":"https:\/\/vroomimodels.com\/de\/products\/ferrari-275-gtbc-competizione-ch9051-n-98-500-m211","provider":"Vroomi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
