The golden age of competitive GTs
GT racing is a category with a particularly rich history. Founded in the 1950s, this discipline has allowed manufacturers to develop cars combining pure performance and elegance, designed for both road and track use. These exceptional machines have dominated circuits around the world, from the curves of Spa-Francorchamps to the straights of Monza.
The technical evolution of these racing and competition cars has been dazzling, moving from the steel bodies of the 1960s to the ultra-light composites of the 1980s and 1990s. Each decade has brought its share of innovations, creating a remarkable technical and aesthetic diversity that my collection strives to faithfully reflect.
GT championships have featured memorable duels between manufacturers, particularly during major endurance events where reliability was as important as pure speed. These clashes gave rise to models that have become legendary, today reproduced with meticulous care by the best Model manufacturers.
The art of Model motor racing
A notable anecdote from the GT world concerns the famous rivalry between Ferrari and Porsche in the 1970s and 1980s. This period saw the birth of strikingly beautiful machines, such as the Ferrari 512 BB LM and the Porsche 935, true mechanical works of art whose aerodynamic shapes still defy conventional aesthetic codes today.
These cars were the scene of revolutionary technological innovations: the first intercooler cooling systems, adaptive spoilers, composite materials... Each race was a life-size laboratory where the solutions of tomorrow were tested. This technical richness is evident in every detail of the Models, from the side air intakes to the rear extractors.

Did You Know? Anecdotes and Curiosities about our Miniatures
What is the difference between a GT and a classic sports car?
GTs (Gran Turismo) are designed to combine performance and comfort over long distances. Unlike pure sports cars, they feature a spacious interior, luxury features, and a softer suspension, while maintaining exceptional performance. This is why models like the Ferrari 599 GTB or the Aston Martin DB9 are so popular.
Why do GT racing cars have such big wings?
GT racing wings generate crucial downforce at high speeds. They literally pin the car to the ground, improving grip in fast corners. A Porsche 911 GT3 RSR can generate up to 400 kg of downforce at 200 km/h thanks to its wing—the equivalent of the weight of four people pushing down on the car!
What makes the Porsche 911 GT so special in the world of GT racing?
The Porsche 911 GT is unique in that it retains the engine at the rear, unlike most racing GTs, which have a mid-engine. This architecture provides exceptional traction when exiting corners but requires a specific driving technique. It is this particularity that makes the 911 GT2 RS or GT3 RS so charming and challenging to drive.
How much does a real GT racing car cost on average?
A new GT racing car costs between €400,000 and €800,000 depending on the model. A Ferrari 488 GT3 sells for around €500,000, while a McLaren 720S GT3 costs around €600,000. These prices include basic technical support, but spare parts and maintenance represent a considerable additional budget for teams.
What is the top speed of circuit racing GTs?
Contrary to popular belief, GT racing cars aren't aimed at maximum top speed, but rather at efficiency on the track. They typically reach 280-320 km/h depending on the circuit, but their strength lies in their ability to maintain high cornering speeds. On a circuit like Spa, an Aston Martin Vantage GT3 can hold 240 km/h in Eau Rouge, where a road car would decelerate sharply.
