The History of the Ferrari 126 CK
The Ferrari 126 CK marked a technical revolution for the Scuderia in 1981. The first Formula 1 Ferrari to be equipped with a turbocharged engine, it featured a 1.5-liter V6 developed by Ing. Rocchi. This single-seater represented Maranello's response to the emerging dominance of supercharged engines in Formula 1, initiated by Renault.
Despite a difficult start marked by reliability issues typical of the turbo era, the 126 CK quickly established itself as a benchmark. Its chassis, designed by Harvey Postlethwaite, offered a remarkable balance between aerodynamic performance and handling, particularly appreciated on demanding circuits like Monaco.
The magic of Monaco in the rain
May 31, 1981, will remain etched in the memory of Formula 1 fans. In pouring rain that transformed the streets of the Principality into an ice rink, Gilles Villeneuve delivered an absolutely masterful driving demonstration. Starting fifth on the grid, the Quebec driver methodically moved up the field.
The race changed on lap 54 when Villeneuve overtook Alan Jones on the Casino hill, a move considered one of the most daring in Monaco's history. His victory, secured by more than four seconds, marked Ferrari's return to the forefront and confirmed the Canadian driver's exceptional talent on wet roads.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
