When we heard Kyosho was going to take their already amazing 1:18 Ferrari 250 GTOs and make them even more detailed, we were curious. When the cars showed up, we were knocked out - and took way too many photos! You can read about the models on page 44 of the July / August issue of CRM - and enjoy these snapshots right now.

Sorry, folks, but you can keep your Gallardo; stash the Diablo; and don’t even bother rummaging for the keys to the Murcielago; if you want to snap heads around and cause a ruckus on Main Street, you need to haul up neat in a Lamborghini Countach.

Peter Brock had it all figured out in late 1966. He’d just penned a deal with Toyota to develop its sleek 2000GT as a race car, and had set up shop to do the necessary work almost as soon as he’d touched down from Japan. One minor problem - the cars never showed. It took a clandestine call from a friend to clue Brock in: he’d been one-upped by his old boss, Carroll Shelby, who had persuaded Toyota to give him the deal, instead.
