On 19–20 June 1965, a Ferrari 250 LM entered by Luigi Chinetti's North American Racing Team crossed the line first, completing 348 laps at an average of approximately 192.2 km\/h. This IXO Models die-cast captures that precise car — chassis 5893, race number 21 — in \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:43\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"ferrari-250-lm-berlinetta\"\u003eThe Ferrari 250 LM: a mid-engined GT berlinetta with a misleading name\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeveloped directly from the 250 P prototype, the 250 LM is a mid-engined closed berlinetta. Its designation follows Ferrari convention of the era but is technically imprecise: the car uses a 3.3-litre Colombo V12, not the 3.0-litre implied by a strict reading of the '250' name. Ferrari submitted the 250 LM for FIA GT homologation in 1964; the request was controversially denied, which meant every car raced under prototype regulations despite its clearly GT-derived bodywork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"nart-le-mans-1965-victory\"\u003eAn unlikely win: NART, Gregory, Rindt and the 1965 Le Mans\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGregory and Rindt were not pre-race favourites. The Ford GT40s and factory Ferrari prototypes were. When those machines retired one by one, the understated red-and-white NART entry — a single white nose stripe on a red body — inherited the lead and held it. Their victory is the last overall Le Mans win for Ferrari, a record that still stands in 2024. Jochen Rindt, the Austrian co-driver, went on to become the 1970 Formula 1 World Champion, making this result one of the most significant of his career outside grand prix racing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"ixo-models-1-43-scale-model-car\"\u003eIXO Models 1:43 scale model car: die-cast construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:43\u003c\/span\u003e replica is produced by IXO Models in die-cast metal.
