Ferrari 275 GTB/4 NART Spider 1967 Blue Metallic KK Scale 1:18

Among the rarest road Ferraris of the post-war era, the 275 GTB/4 NART Spider occupies a singular position: only ten were ever built, each one commissioned by Luigi Chinetti Sr. and bodied by Scaglietti in 1967. KK Scale's die-cast 1:18 scale model reproduces this car in Blue Metallic, a period metallic blue consistent with finishes delivered to North American customers at the time.

Ten Cars, One Platform, Zero Compromises

The 275 GTB/4 NART Spider shares its architecture entirely with the closed GTB/4 berlinetta: a 3286 cc Colombo V12 with twin overhead camshafts per bank (Tipo 213), six Weber 40 DCN carburettors producing approximately 300 hp, independent rear suspension with a five-speed transaxle, and four-wheel disc brakes. With a wheelbase of 2400 mm, it was a genuine grand tourer engineered to the same standard as the competition-derived berlinetta. The open bodywork by Scaglietti was the only concession to comfort over aerodynamics.

Chinetti, Hollywood and Sebring

Luigi Chinetti Sr. created the NART Spider to give wealthy American clients factory open-top motoring with full GTB/4 running gear — something Ferrari's own catalogue did not offer. The ten cars quickly acquired cultural weight beyond their rarity. Chassis s/n 10453 was owned by Steve McQueen. Chassis s/n 10709 was raced at the 1967 12 Hours of Sebring by Denise McCluggage and Marianne 'Pinkie' Rollo. In 2013, chassis s/n 11057 sold at RM Sotheby's Monterey for $27.5 million, then a world auction record for a Ferrari. Several examples were delivered in metallic blue to their original North American owners.

KK Scale Die-Cast in 1:18

KK Scale produces this replica as a die-cast 1:18 model — a format that allows the Scaglietti bodywork's long bonnet, curved haunches and open cockpit to read clearly on the shelf. The Blue Metallic finish reflects the kind of colour in which several of the ten original NART Spiders left the factory. As a die-cast piece, the model combines the structural solidity expected of the format with the surface fidelity needed to represent one of Pininfarina and Scaglietti's most admired open bodies of the 1960s.

A Focal Point for Any Ferrari Collection

The NART Spider sits naturally alongside a 1:18 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 berlinetta, illustrating the shared platform in open and closed form. It pairs equally well with a Ferrari 250 GT California Spider, tracing the lineage of open V12 Ferraris from the late 1950s through the 1960s. For collectors focused on the NART racing story, it complements 1:18 representations of other Chinetti-entered cars. The Blue Metallic finish adds chromatic variety to displays that tend to be dominated by Rosso Corsa.
