The #31 The Bend Team WRT BMW M4 GT3 EVO at the 93rd 24 Hours of Le Mans — 14–15 June 2025 — belongs firmly in the second category. Minichamps has reproduced it in die-cast metal at \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e, freezing a car that was running competitively before circumstances entirely beyond any driver's control ended its race.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"bmw-m4-gt3-evo-the-machine\"\u003eThe BMW M4 GT3 EVO: G82 Platform, 590 hp, €578,000\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRevealed at the Nürburgring in May 2024, the BMW M4 GT3 EVO is an evolution of the FIA GT3-homologated M4 GT3 built on the G82-generation M4 platform. Its P58 engine — a 2,993 cm³ straight-six M TwinPower Turbo producing up to 590 hp — drives through an X-Trac 6-speed sequential gearbox. The EVO specification introduced lighter cathodic dip coating in place of conventional paint, revised front-arch air outlets, smaller aero mirrors, and enlarged rear brake discs with new anti-roll bars. At launch, the customer price stood at €578,000.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"le-mans-2025-lmgt3-debut-and-the-rabbit\"\u003eLe Mans 2025: LMGT3 Debut, a Podium Pedigree, and an Unforeseen End\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 24 Hours marked the BMW M4 GT3 EVO's first LMGT3-class start at Circuit de la Sarthe. Car #31 ran under the The Bend Team WRT banner — Belgian outfit WRT partnered with Australian venue The Bend Motorsport Park through driver Yasser Shahin. The crew of Augusto Farfus (Pro, BRA), Timur Boguslavskiy (Silver) and Shahin (Bronze) qualified 16th and had climbed into the top eight when the car struck a rabbit on track. The collision caused severe radiator damage; repairs proved impossible and the car was classified DNF after approximately 168 laps. Farfus and the same #31 trio had taken third in LMGT3 at the FIA WEC Qatar opener earlier that season, recovering from 14th on the grid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"minichamps-118-scale-model-die-cast-construction\"\u003eThe 1:18 Scale Model: Minichamps Die-Cast in White and Black\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMinichamps has rendered the #31 in die-cast metal at \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e. The white and black livery carries the The Bend Team WRT graphics as raced at Le Mans. The model reproduces the EVO-specific aerodynamic surfaces — the revised rear wing, enlarged front-arch outlets, and the GT3 splitter geometry that gives the real car its 5,020 mm overall length including bodywork. Minichamps also produced the companion #46 WRT entry (Rossi\/Al Harthy\/van der Linde, blue and yellow) from the same event, making a paired LMGT3 display straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"display-cabinet-what-it-pairs-with\"\u003eIn the Display Cabinet: 28 cm of Le Mans History\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e, the real car's 5,020 mm length scales to approximately 28 cm — allow at least 30 cm of shelf depth to accommodate the rear wing overhang.
