The history of the Panhard 24 CT
Launched in 1963, the Panhard 24 CT (Coupé Tourisme) represents the culmination of the French brand's expertise in the field of lightweight and economical cars. Designed by Louis Bionier, this car is distinguished by its futuristic lines and its teardrop-shaped body, optimized for aerodynamics. Its air-cooled 848 cc flat-twin engine, inherited from the Panhard tradition, allowed it to reach 140 km/h despite its modest 50 horsepower.
The 24 CT perfectly embodies the innovative spirit of French manufacturers of the time, offering a unique alternative to conventional sedans. Production ended in 1967, marking the end of a unique automotive line that had successfully combined economy, performance, and avant-garde aesthetics.
A memorable anecdote
The Panhard 24 CT owes part of its fame to its notable participations in the 24 Hours of Le Mans between 1962 and 1965. Despite its small engine size, it regularly won its category thanks to its legendary reliability and its excellent aerodynamic coefficient of 0.28 - an exceptional performance for the time which still rivals modern cars today.
One of the most memorable anecdotes concerns the driver René Bonnet who, during the 1964 Le Mans tests, affectionately nicknamed his 24 CT "the little blue rocket". This name flourished in the paddock, as the car impressed with its top speed on the long straights at Le Mans, overtaking much more powerful cars thanks to its remarkable penetration through the air.
An essential collector's item
This Solido miniature fits perfectly into a collection dedicated to French model cars or classics from the 1950s-1979s . Collectors will particularly appreciate the faithful reproduction of this Panhard 24 CT, which bears witness to the golden age of French automotive innovation. This miniature also makes an excellent addition to thematic collections dedicated to the 24 Hours of Le Mans , recalling the exploits of this little French car on the Sarthe circuit.
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).
