Description[]
The Ferrari 250 LM is a racing sports car version of the 250 intended to compete in endurance racing. The car was essentially a coupe version of the 250 P and was intended to replace the 250 GTO as the main car it could use for sports car racing in the 1960s; initially intended to be homologated for Group 3, the car had to compete in Group 4 as the FIA refused to homologate the car for Group 3 as Ferrari had built significantly fewer than the cars required to allow homologation. The cars were powered by 3.3L Colombo V12s from the 275 and was successfully raced around the world by Ferrari and other privateer teams. Today, the 250 LM is one of Ferrari's most desirable and collectible models. 33 chassis were produced.
The initial livery of this casting depicts chassis 5893GT, the car that won the 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans, driven by Masten Gregory and Jochen Rindt. Certain posters identify the casting as the Ferrari 250 GT LM. This was the last Ferrari casting Mark Jones got to design for the Hot Wheels Design Team.
