GP Replicas has rendered car No. 27 in the specific configuration Gilles Villeneuve used to win Round 7 of the 1981 World Championship at Jarama, one of the most analysed afternoons in the sport's history. The \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e resin model includes opening engine detail that exposes the Ferrari 021 1.5-litre twin-turbo V6 unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"ferrari-126ck-turbo-genesis\"\u003eFerrari's First Turbo: The 126CK in 1981\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned by Mauro Forghieri, the 126CK combined a ground-effect chassis with Ferrari's 021 engine — a 1.5-litre twin-turbocharged V6. The 1981 regulations saw ground-effect skirts banned mid-season, yet the car remained competitive in the hands of Villeneuve (No. 27) and Didier Pironi (No. 28). Fiat and Agip were among the prominent sponsors carried on the classic Scuderia Ferrari red bodywork throughout the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"jarama-1981-villeneuve-greatest-drives\"\u003eJarama, 21 June 1981: Defensive Driving as Art Form\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarting seventh on the grid, Villeneuve worked his way to the front and then held position against a train of faster cars in the closing laps. At the flag, Laffite, Watson, Reutemann and de Angelis were covered by 1.24 seconds — the winner's margin over second place alone was 0.22 seconds. The 126CK was widely considered less competitive than the Williams and Brabham machinery of that season, which made Villeneuve's ability to manage gaps, brake references and tyre condition over the final stint all the more precise. It remained Ferrari's and Villeneuve's only win of the 1981 campaign.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"gp-replicas-1-18-resin-model\"\u003eThe GP Replicas \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e Scale Model\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGP Replicas builds its Formula 1 replicas in resin using multi-part construction, allowing a level of surface and mechanical detail difficult to achieve in diecast at this scale. This release of the Ferrari 126CK No. 27 includes opening engine detail: the bodywork over the Ferrari 021 power unit can be opened or removed to reveal the twin-turbo V6 beneath — an appropriate feature given that engine's historical significance as Ferrari's first turbocharged F1 unit. The livery replicates the 1981 Spanish GP specification, with race number 27, Fiat and Agip branding, and the period white trim on Scuderia Ferrari red.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GP REPLICAS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56708332913024,"sku":"GPFTMV001B","price":429.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/8828\/7104\/files\/aiease_1777387726432.png?v=1792660540","url":"https:\/\/vroomimodels.com\/de\/products\/gp-replicas-118-ferrari-f1-126ck-n-27-w-gpftmv001b","provider":"Vroomi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
