2016 Ford GT Le Mans - R.Briscoe/S.Dixon/R.Westbrook #68 (AUTOart) 1/18
Product Details Temp out of stock
The 2016 Ford GT Le Mans - R.Briscoe/S.Dixon/R.Westbrook #68 competed in endurance racing's most demanding arena, where sustained speed over twenty-four hours separates genuine preparation from optimism. Endurance racing places unique demands on machinery — thermal management, tire degradation, fuel strategy, and mechanical durability all become as important as outright pace, requiring engineering teams to balance performance with survival across the race distance. The car's aerodynamic configuration, powertrain calibration, and brake specification were developed specifically to withstand the punishment of circuit conditions at night, in varying weather, and under the pressure of close competition with equally prepared rivals. This model represents the result of that engineering and organizational commitment expressed in racing machinery.
The AUTOart 1:18 scale diecast model SKU 81612 captures the endurance racer's identity with the precision that AUTOart brings to motorsport subjects. The aerodynamic bodywork, race livery, and number graphics are reproduced with accuracy that communicates the car's competitive purpose without simplification. Exterior surfaces reveal the engineering complexity of a machine designed for sustained speed — diffusers, splitters, vents, and aerodynamic appendages are correctly formed and positioned. The race interior, visible through the windows, reflects the stripped environment that endurance drivers occupied for their stints, with safety equipment, instrumentation, and controls correctly represented. This AUTOart 2016 Ford GT Le Mans - R.Briscoe/S.Dixon/R.Westbrook #68 is more than a display piece — it is a faithful reference to a chapter of motorsport history preserved in diecast.

The Ford GT40 was built for one purpose: to beat Ferrari at Le Mans. After losing a bid to purchase Ferrari in 1963, Henry Ford II ordered the creation of a purpose-built racing car. The GT40 won Le Mans four consecutive times from 1966 to 1969. The 2005 Ford GT was a centennial tribute to the original, using a supercharged 5.4L V8 producing 550 horsepower. Both generations are considered among the most significant American sports cars ever made.
This 1/18 scale replica of the 2016 Ford Gt is produced by AUTOart to collector-grade specifications. At 1/18 scale — the most popular collector scale — the model measures approximately 10 inches in length and displays beautifully on a shelf or in a glass cabinet. Every detail — from paint finish to badging — is reproduced from measurements taken from the original vehicle.
