Kyosho's 1:18 diecast Ferrari 250 GTO reproduces car #24, the privateer entry that carried Jean Blaton and Gérald Langlois van Ophem to second overall at the 1963 Le Mans 24 Hours. Zinc alloy construction brings genuine heft, with opening doors and bonnet revealing a race-trimmed cabin.

About the Ferrari 250 GTO #24 J. Blaton / G. Langlois 2nd 24 Hours of Le Mans 1963 Kyosho 1:18

TL;DR: Kyosho's 1:18 diecast Ferrari 250 GTO reproduces car #24, raced by Jean Blaton and Gérald Langlois van Ophem to second overall at the 1963 Le Mans 24 Hours. Zinc alloy construction with opening doors and bonnet brings one of Ferrari's most valuable competition cars to a tactile, collectable scale.

The 250 GTO needs no introduction among Ferrari collectors, yet Kyosho's diecast take on chassis #24 adds something specific: a genuine Le Mans result, not a generic race livery, which gives the model a documented story rather than a decorative one.

Kyosho's Diecast Approach to the 250 GTO

Zinc Alloy Build and Opening Panels

Kyosho casts the body in zinc alloy diecast, and the model carries real heft when lifted from its display stand, a density no resin alternative can match. The doors and bonnet open on metal hinges to reveal a cabin trimmed for competition rather than road use, with a simplified dashboard and a roll bar fitted behind the seats. Shut lines stay tight around the wings and doors, and the wire-style wheels sit correctly within the GTO's flared arches, a stance detail that separates a well-tooled GTO from a generic long-nose Ferrari silhouette. Paint depth under direct light shows the rosso finish with genuine flake rather than a flat single tone.

Livery Accuracy for Car #24

The bodywork carries car #24's white background roundel and race number, positioned as it ran at La Sarthe in June 1963, with the entrant's decal placement kept accurate rather than approximated. Getting a race-liveried GTO right depends almost entirely on this kind of placement, since the body shape barely changed between chassis. Kyosho's printed numbering sits flat and sharp against the paintwork, without the raised edge that lesser transfers can leave once applied, and the contrast against the red holds up under close inspection rather than blurring at the edges.

Blaton, Langlois van Ophem, and Le Mans 1963

A Privateer Entry With a Serious Result

Jean Blaton, racing under his familiar pseudonym, partnered Belgian driver Gérald Langlois van Ophem in car #24 at the 1963 Le Mans 24 Hours, bringing the GTO home in second place overall against a field that included Ferrari's own prototype entries. A private customer team out-lasting factory-adjacent machinery on reliability alone was not unusual for the GTO, a car built explicitly to be raced hard by the teams who bought it, rather than kept as a show car by Maranello.

The 250 GTO's Wider Racing Record

That 1963 result sits inside the 250 GTO's three-year run of GT class dominance at Le Mans through the early 1960s, a record that helped push surviving originals to the top of the collector-car market decades later. Only 36 were built, and the model trade has responded accordingly, treating the GTO as one of the most requested Ferrari subjects across every price bracket, from Kyosho's diecast interpretation here up to hand-built resin commissions from specialist makers.

Collecting a 250 GTO Alongside Other Ferrari Racers

A diecast GTO like this sits comfortably beside sealed resin versions from specialist makers, trading a touch of ultimate panel sharpness for opening doors and bonnet that let a shelf display show off the cabin detail. At roughly 23cm long, it holds its own next to a 365 GTB/4 or a 275 GTB, tracing Maranello's front-engined GT lineage across two decades of road and racing development. For a collector building a Le Mans-liveried Ferrari display, or simply assembling a run of 1960s GT racers, car #24's documented result gives this piece an anchor point that a decorative "race replica" livery rarely offers.
