About the BMW M6 GT3 F13 #55 ARTA Autobacs Racing Team Aguri R. Takagi / T. Walkinshaw Super GT GT300 2017 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast reproduces the #55 ARTA Autobacs Racing Team BMW M6 GT3, driven by Ryo Takagi and Tom Walkinshaw in the 2017 Super GT GT300 class. The Japanese sponsor livery marks a distinct branch of the M6 GT3's international racing career.

BMW's M6 GT3 raced on nearly every continent after its 2016 debut, and the ARTA-run Japanese entry gives this diecast a livery quite different from the European examples most collections settle for.

A Japanese Livery on a European GT3 Platform

ARTA's Autobacs branding runs in bold red and white across the M6's flanks, a scheme built for visibility on Japanese television broadcasts rather than European motorsport convention, and Minichamps' tampo work keeps those bold panels crisp rather than blurred at the edges. The M6 GT3's wide rear haunches and deep front splitter, shared across every livery the car wore worldwide, are cast into a sealed racing body with no opening features, which suits a subject built entirely around aerodynamic surfacing. Handling the piece, the metal shell has the same reassuring density Minichamps applies to its European liveries, so quality doesn't drop simply because the market did.

Collecting the M6 GT3 Across Continents

Super GT's GT300 class ran to its own regulations, distinct from the GT3 rules the M6 followed in Europe and North America, and an ARTA example next to a Nürburgring or IMSA-liveried M6 GT3 tells that story better than any description could. For collectors already running a BMW GT3 theme, this Japanese-market entry adds genuine geographic breadth rather than repeating a livery they likely already own.
