About the Ferrari 456 GT Profex #1 Green 1992 Bburago 1:18

TL;DR: Bburago's 1:18 diecast Ferrari 456 GT Profex reproduces car #1 in green competition livery, a race-prepared take on Ferrari's front-engined V12 grand tourer. Diecast construction with opening doors and bonnet keeps the price accessible. A less common racing angle on a car usually collected as a road-going GT.

Most 456 GT replicas show the road car's understated grand-touring finish. This Bburago casting instead reproduces a race-liveried Profex conversion, car #1 in green, giving the model a competition identity the standard coupe never had.

A Race Livery on the Standard Bburago Casting

This casting shares its body tooling with Bburago's standard road-going 456 GT, which means the same zinc-alloy construction, opening doors and bonnet, and the panel-gap tolerances typical of a mass-market diecast. What changes is entirely cosmetic: a green competition livery with a bold #1 numbering and sponsor-style graphics replaces the understated road finish, applied with the same even tampo printing Bburago uses across its Ferrari range. Racing decals on a road-car-shaped body always ask more of a tool than a purpose-built competition casting, since the proportions were never designed around aerodynamic addenda, but the number and graphics here still read cleanly from display distance.

Taking a Grand Tourer Racing

The 456 GT was built and sold as a road-going grand tourer rather than a factory competition model, so a race-liveried example like this one reflects the kind of customer conversion work that turned Ferrari's front-engined V12 into a GT-class contender during the 1990s, a period when production-based grand tourers found real racing grids across Europe. That conversion culture, where private entrants and specialist workshops adapted road cars for competition, produced a genuinely varied field of liveries and one-off entries, and this green #1 documents one such take on a car most collectors know only in its road-going form.

A Less Familiar Side of the 456 GT

Alongside a standard road-going 456 GT, this racing version shows a less familiar side of the model's history, worth a place on any shelf exploring Ferrari's grand tourers beyond their usual showroom finish.
