Ferrari 365 GTB/4 #39 J-C. Andruet / Lena 24 Hours of Le Mans 1972 Kyosho 1:18 08164E Diecast
1 / 8
Kyosho's 1:18 diecast Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona reproduces car #39, entered by Andruet and Lena at the 1972 Le Mans 24 Hours. Zinc alloy construction and opening doors bring Pininfarina's long-nosed GT shape to scale, with the endurance-racing livery applied in place of the road car's usual factory colours. A strong choice for a Ferrari GT racing shelf, or as a companion to a road-going Daytona already in the collection.

About the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 #39 J-C. Andruet / Lena 24 Hours of Le Mans 1972 Kyosho 1:18

TL;DR: Kyosho's 1:18 diecast Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona reproduces car #39, campaigned by Jean-Claude Andruet and Lena at the 1972 Le Mans 24 Hours. Zinc alloy construction with opening doors brings Pininfarina's long-nosed GT shape to scale, dressed in period endurance livery rather than the road car's factory finish.

The Daytona is best known as a road car, the last of Ferrari's great front-engined V12 GTs before the Berlinetta Boxer changed everything, but it earned its stripes on track too, and Kyosho's #39 leans into that racing identity.

Kyosho's Diecast Daytona in Endurance Racing Trim

Pininfarina's Long-Nosed Shape in Zinc Alloy

Kyosho renders the Daytona's body in zinc alloy diecast, and the model carries genuine weight for its size, a density that signals real metal construction rather than a lightweight composite shell. Pininfarina's long bonnet and low, tapering tail come through accurately, with the retractable headlight covers, closed here as they typically ran on track, keeping the nose's clean profile intact. Shut lines around the doors and bonnet stay tight and consistent, and the wheel arches sit close to the tyres without the gap that lesser tooling often leaves on long-nosed GT subjects.

Race Number Application and Cabin Detail

The livery replaces Ferrari's usual factory colours with the sponsor and entrant markings this specific car carried at Le Mans in 1972, including car #39's number and roundel placement. Kyosho's printed graphics sit flat against the paint rather than sitting slightly raised, and the registration around curved surfaces like the bonnet and wing stays accurate rather than stretching or misaligning. Inside, the doors open to a cabin trimmed with a roll bar and simplified door cards, a treatment closer to how these GTs were actually prepared for endurance racing than a showroom interior.

The 365 GTB/4's Place in Ferrari's Le Mans Story

Andruet, Lena, and the 1972 Entry

Jean-Claude Andruet shared car #39 with co-driver Lena in the 1972 running of the Le Mans 24 Hours, entering the Daytona in the GT class against a field increasingly dominated by purpose-built prototypes. By the early 1970s the Daytona was already an ageing design in racing terms, yet its V12 and its fundamentally sound chassis kept it competitive enough for privateer teams to keep campaigning it years after its road-car debut. That longevity says something about the basic engineering underneath the Pininfarina bodywork.

A GT Racer Against Purpose-Built Prototypes

Running a road-derived GT against dedicated sports prototypes meant conceding outright pace, but Le Mans has always rewarded reliability as much as speed, and GT-class entries like this Daytona were built to finish rather than to lead. The car's presence in the field also reflects how privateer teams in this era used production-based Ferraris as an accessible route into top-level endurance racing, a role the Daytona filled for several seasons before newer GT designs took over that job.

Pairing a Racing Daytona With a Road Version

A racing Daytona like this pairs naturally with a road-going 365 GTB/4 in factory colours, showing the same shape doing two very different jobs. At close to 25cm long, it holds a similar footprint to other 1970s Ferrari GTs, so it slots easily into a themed shelf run alongside a 275 GTB or a 512 BB without a scale mismatch. Kyosho's diecast construction, with its opening doors and firm hinges, suits a subject a collector will want to handle and photograph rather than seal away, and the accessible tier this piece occupies makes a second Daytona, in racing trim beside a road car, a realistic addition rather than a stretch.
