Ferrari 250 SWB

The 250 SWB today still gives wide topics of discussion to the enthusiasts, but they are all in agreement that its V12 engine is one of the best propellers of automotive history. Its power and its endurance have marked an era, contributing considerably to rise the Ferrari’s legend.

This work is a faithful representation in 1/3 scale of the 12 cylinder Ferrari 250 engine of the 60’s, that equipped the splendid California spyders and the memorable short wheel base berlinetta's, usually renamed “SWB”. It’s made with the same technique and material used, at that time, by Ferrari factory: hand-formed sand casting of aluminium galsi-9, and other parts are turned stainless-steel. More than 500 elements are professionally assembled by 470 screws, without using any adhesives. Everything is made with meticulous precision using a lot of means and materials in order to get the best results for the internal turning mechanism of the 12 pistons, connecting rods and the crankshaft, transmitting the rotation to the transmission shaft. All the mechanisms are synchronized, by very precise gears, with the 3 outside pulleys: timing, air fan and dynamo, all connected by one belt made to measure, exactly like the original.

Because of the length of time that every model needs for his construction, only a few fortunate people can buy these magnificent engines because of the low edition number of only 99. 50 of them are reserved for assembly inside of the 50 SWB berlinetta trellises, made by manually welded iron rod, always exactly in 1/3 scale.

Limited to 99 pieces with numbered certificate.
