The 92nd 24 Hours of Le Mans produced one of the most emphatic results in recent endurance racing history: the No. 50 Ferrari AF Corse 499P crossed the line 14.221 seconds ahead of the No. 7 Toyota GR010 Hybrid, sealing Ferrari's second consecutive overall victory at Circuit de la Sarthe. BBR Models has documented that exact car in 1:18 resin, complete with race number, driver names and a display showcase.
Ferrari's Return to Top-Class Prototype Racing
The Ferrari 499P is the Scuderia's first Le Mans Hypercar (LMH) prototype, built to ACO/FIA LMH regulations and marking Ferrari's return to top-class Le Mans prototype competition after a 50-year absence. Its powertrain pairs a 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged V6 — internally coded F163 — with a front-axle hybrid motor-generator unit, reaching the regulated combined output of 500 kW. The car competes under Ferrari AF Corse, the factory-supported endurance racing team that has carried the Prancing Horse in top-level GT and prototype competition for over two decades.
311 Laps, 14 Seconds, an 11th Le Mans Crown
On 15–16 June 2024, Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen drove the No. 50 car to Ferrari's 11th overall victory at Le Mans — and its second in consecutive years, a back-to-back achievement not matched by Ferrari since the 1960s dynasty. The margin at the flag was 14.221 seconds over the Toyota. Simultaneously, the sister No. 51 AF Corse 499P of Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado and Antonio Giovinazzi took third, giving Ferrari the first and third positions on the overall classification. The No. 50 wore the classic Ferrari AF Corse Rosso Corsa livery with white and yellow accent striping.
BBR Models: Resin Craft at 1:18
BBR Models is an Italian specialist known for museum-quality resin scale models with hand-applied liveries. Resin construction allows the manufacturer to capture complex aerodynamic surfaces — the 499P's swept front splitter, vented hood and multi-element rear diffuser — without the tooling compromises of die-cast production. This 1:18 example reproduces the No. 50 race livery in Rosso Corsa with the correct race number and driver name panel, and the body is a sealed one-piece unit consistent with BBR's collector-grade production standard. A dedicated display showcase is included.
Placing the 499P in Your Collection
At 1:18, the included showcase keeps the resin finish dust-free and provides immediate display-ready presentation. Natural companions are the No. 51 Ferrari AF Corse 499P from the same 2024 race, or the 1:18 Ferrari 499P from the 2023 edition that began the back-to-back sequence. Collectors building a broader LMH survey will also find the Toyota GR010 Hybrid a relevant pairing given the 14-second head-to-head at the 2024 finish.
Häufig gestellte Fragen
Does the model have opening parts?
The model features a sealed one-piece resin body with no opening parts. Detail is concentrated on the exterior aerodynamic surfaces: the front splitter, bonnet vents, side bodywork and the rear diffuser assembly that characterises the 499P's LMH package.
What material is used and why does it matter?
The model is made entirely from resin, which is BBR's standard production material for collector-grade static models. Resin allows finer surface detail and more accurate livery reproduction than die-cast zinc alloy, and it does not suffer the metal-fatigue or paint-adherence issues sometimes associated with die-cast components.
Which race and result does this model represent?
It represents the No. 50 Ferrari AF Corse 499P driven by Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen at the 92nd 24 Hours of Le Mans on 15–16 June 2024. The car won outright with 311 laps completed, finishing 14.221 seconds ahead of the No. 7 Toyota GR010 Hybrid — Ferrari's 11th overall Le Mans victory.
