About the Ferrari 250 GTO #19 24 Hours of Le Mans 1962 Kyosho 1:18

TL;DR: Kyosho's 1:18 diecast reproduces a Ferrari 250 GTO racing at the 1962 24 Hours of Le Mans as car number 19, finished in period Ferrari livery with the model's covered headlamps and low, wind-cheating nose. Diecast build and opening panels bring one of only 36 original GTOs within reach of an endurance racing collection.

Le Mans is where the 250 GTO made its name, lapping the Circuit de la Sarthe fast enough to win its class three years running. Kyosho's diecast wears race number 19 from the car's 1962 outing, the year the GTO's Le Mans reputation began in earnest.

Kyosho's 1:18 Ferrari 250 GTO, Le Mans 1962

Race Number 19 and the Circuit de la Sarthe

The Circuit de la Sarthe combines tight infield sections with the long, flat-out Mulsanne Straight, a layout that rewards top speed as much as cornering ability across a full 24 hours. Kyosho's model carries the number 19 livery from the 1962 race, one of several factory and privateer GTOs entered that year in Ferrari's push to dominate the GT class. The bonnet, roofline and tail are shaped to the correct GTO proportions, and the race number panels sit with sharp, consistent edges rather than the soft printing that lets down cheaper race liveries.

Aerodynamic Shape Rendered in Diecast

Scaglietti's coachbuilders and Bizzarrini's engineering gave the GTO a shape built around airflow rather than showroom styling, with covered headlamps, a Kamm-style tail and a nose lower than the road-going 250 GT it descended from. Kyosho's tooling keeps that low, wedge-like profile intact rather than softening it for a friendlier toy silhouette, and the diecast body carries genuine weight that plastic reproductions cannot match. Wheels sit within period-correct wire-style spokes, and the rosso corsa paint holds convincing depth under direct light, a detail that matters most on a car whose shape did all its talking on a fast straight.

The 250 GTO's Le Mans Class-Winning Record

Bizzarrini's Engineering for the Mulsanne Straight

Giotto Bizzarrini reworked the 250 GT's chassis and Scaglietti reshaped the bodywork specifically to survive sustained high speed on straights like the Mulsanne, where the GTO could hold well over 260 kilometres an hour for long stretches without the stability problems that plagued less aerodynamic rivals. That combination of speed and composure delivered Ferrari the FIA GT Championship across three consecutive seasons in the early 1960s, with the GTO winning its class at Le Mans each of those years against strong opposition from Aston Martin, Jaguar and Shelby's emerging Cobra effort. Only 36 GTOs were ever built, a scarcity that has made surviving examples among the most valuable cars in the world and turned every well-liveried scale replica into the only realistic way most collectors will ever see one up close. That rarity is exactly why manufacturers keep returning to the GTO for new liveries rather than settling for a single generic version.

Anchoring a Ferrari Endurance Racing Shelf

Comparing Le Mans Liveries Side by Side

Collectors who already own a different GTO livery will notice how much decal placement and number style change between chassis, even within the same race weekend. Lining up two or three liveried GTOs from the early 1960s side by side shows the range of sponsor and class markings Ferrari's works and privateer teams carried, turning a single-model purchase into the start of a genuinely comparative display rather than a repeated casting with a new number.

A Le Mans Hero on a Wider Shelf

At roughly 24 centimetres long, this GTO fits comfortably among other 1:18 Ferrari endurance racers, and its low, aerodynamic profile makes an effective visual contrast against boxier 1960s GT rivals on the same shelf. Kyosho's diecast sits in the accessible middle of the market, with opening doors and a detailed cabin rather than the sealed-resin construction specialist producers reserve for ultra-limited GTO tributes at considerably higher prices. For a collector chasing the GTO's Le Mans story specifically, this number 19 car pairs naturally with other liveries from the same three-year winning run, building a small chronology of one of endurance racing's most celebrated cars.
