At Le Mans that June, Scuderia Ferrari ran multiple examples, making this \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e scale model a direct artefact from one of the most significant factory efforts in Ferrari's early endurance racing history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"the-375-plus\"\u003eThe 375 Plus: Ferrari's 5.0-Litre V12 Sports-Racer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFerrari developed the 375 Plus specifically for the 1954 season, drawing the engine directly from the Lampredi Formula 1 unit. Approximately five chassis were built for both works and customer campaigns. The car's tubular ladder-frame chassis used de Dion rear suspension, and the Pinin Farina open barchetta coachwork gave it a silhouette that remains one of the most recognisable of the early 1950s. The combination of displacement, pedigree and rarity makes every surviving 375 Plus a museum-grade subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"le-mans-1954\"\u003eRace No. 5 at Le Mans, 24–25 June 1954\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1954 Le Mans 24 Hours is remembered as the race Ferrari dominated outright. The No. 4 works entry of José Froilán González and Maurice Trintignant took the overall victory, cementing the 375 Plus as the outright Le Mans winner for that year. Racing alongside in the No. 5 car were Louis Rosier — a veteran French campaigner with long experience at the Circuit de la Sarthe — and Robert Manzon, a Grand Prix driver who had raced for Gordini and Ferrari in Formula 1. Their pairing brought together two of France's most prominent racing names under the Scuderia Ferrari umbrella in full Rosso Corsa livery, and the No. 5 car finished 3rd overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"kk-scale-118-die-cast\"\u003eThe KK Scale \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e Die-Cast Model\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKK Scale is a European brand with a catalogue focused on classic racing and road car subjects in \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e die-cast metal. Unlike resin-only manufacturers, KK Scale's die-cast construction offers a solidity and tactile quality well suited to open-cockpit, open-wheel subjects like the 375 Plus barchetta. The model replicates the No. 5 race livery: Scuderia Ferrari Rosso Corsa finish, correct race number, and the exposed mechanical character of the Pinin Farina body. For collectors who favour durable display pieces over fragile resin replicas, this is a notable entry point into 1950s Ferrari sports-racing history at this scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"display-cabinet\"\u003eIn the Display Cabinet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe No. 5 Rosier\/Manzon car pairs naturally with any representation of the winning No. 4 González\/Trintignant Ferrari 375 Plus, allowing a direct visual reference to the full 1954 Le Mans Scuderia Ferrari effort. More broadly, it fits a collection built around 1950s endurance racing, Lampredi-era Ferrari history, or the parallel careers of French Grand Prix drivers in sports-car racing. Robert Manzon's relative scarcity as a collectable subject — given his primary identity as an F1 driver — also makes this a crossover piece for Formula 1 collections focused on the early 1950s grid.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KK SCALE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57061721735552,"sku":"KKDC181245","price":75.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/8828\/7104\/files\/vroomi-ferrari-375-plus-5.0l-v12-spider-team-scuderia-ferrari-n-5-24h-le-mans-1954-louis-rosier-robert-manzon-red-front34.jpg?v=1792766892","url":"https:\/\/vroomimodels.com\/de\/products\/ferrari-375-plus-50l-v12-spider-team-sc-kkdc181245","provider":"Vroomi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
