Ferrari 250 TR61 raced by Pedro and Ricardo Rodríguez at Le Mans in June 1961, finished in traditional Ferrari red with race number 17.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ferrari 250 TR61 represents the final development of the Testa Rossa bloodline, one of the most consequential endurance racing platforms of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Tecnomodel's resin \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e scale model reproduces the specific N.A.R.T. entry — car number 17 — as it appeared at the 1961 running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, driven by the Rodríguez brothers from Mexico.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"ferrari-250-tr61-the-car\"\u003eFerrari 250 TR61: the final Testa Rossa\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 250 TR61 carried forward the Colombo-derived 60-degree V12, fed by six twin-choke Weber carburettors, in a revised open spider body constructed by Fantuzzi. The coachbuilder's signature pontoon-fender barchetta silhouette — high flanks framing a deeply recessed cockpit — gave the car a visual identity that has not dated. It was a thoroughbred endurance weapon, built for circuits like Le Mans, Sebring and the Nürburgring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"nart-rodriguez-le-mans-1961\"\u003eN.A.R.T., the Rodríguez brothers and Le Mans 1961\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuigi Chinetti's North American Racing Team entered the number 17 TR61 for Pedro Rodríguez and his younger brother Ricardo. N.A.R.T. gave non-works drivers access to factory-specification machinery. The car ran in traditional Ferrari red, identified by the number 17 on its flanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"tecnomodel-1-18-resin-model\"\u003eTecnomodel's resin \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e model\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResin construction allows the manufacturer to reproduce fine panel lines, period-correct livery graphics and the intricate Fantuzzi bodywork geometry at this scale with a fidelity that pressings cannot match. The subject — a N.A.R.T. TR61 tied to the Rodríguez brothers — sits at the intersection of Ferrari marque collecting and endurance racing history, making it relevant to a broad range of specialist collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TECNOMODEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60362430054784,"sku":"TM18-231C","price":251.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/8828\/7104\/files\/vroomi-tm18-231c-front34-v2.jpg?v=1794333474","url":"https:\/\/vroomimodels.com\/products\/ferrari-250-tr61-3-0l-v12-spider-team-n-a-r-t-north-american-racing-n-17-24h-le-mans-1961-pedro-rodriguez-ricardo-rodriguez-red","provider":"Vroomi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
