The Kyosho Ferrari F40 Competizione 1:12 - A Tribute to Racing Royalty

Few names stir the soul of car enthusiasts like Ferrari. And few models in Ferrari’s legendary stable capture the raw, unfiltered spirit of motorsport quite like the F40—especially the ultra-rare, track-focused F40 LM and Competizione variants. Now, Kyosho Diecast honors this icon with a stunning 1:12 scale Ferrari F40 model that brings racing history to life for diecast car collectors and Ferrari fans alike.

Ferrari’s Final Farewell to Enzo

Built to commemorate Ferrari’s 40th anniversary, the F40 was the last Ferrari personally approved by Enzo Ferrari—a legendary farewell to a visionary founder. But the F40 LM wasn’t just symbolic—it was a racing machine. The Ferrari F40 LM and Competizione were designed to dominate the track, setting new benchmarks for power and performance.

Track-Ready Design in 1:12 Scale

Kyosho’s Ferrari F40 Competizione diecast model in 1:12 scale showcases the extreme detail and engineering brilliance of the original competition model:

  • Aggressive front cowl with air cooling ducts

  • Distinct 4-lamp round headlights and a low-slung front spoiler

  • Adjustable rear wing for optimized aerodynamics

  • Race-focused interior with 4-point harness and reinforced side bar

  • Lightweight chassis and modified suspension true to its motorsport DNA

Whether you're displaying it in a showcase or admiring it up close, this high-end diecast Ferrari model is a jaw-dropping miniature of one of Ferrari’s greatest cars.

Ferrari F40 Performance: Power Refined

Beneath its sleek shell, the F40 LM carried a tuned version of the 2.9L V8 twin-turbo engine—complete with larger turbochargers, enhanced intercoolers, and revised engine management. Output soared to over 700ps, per official Ferrari figures. That’s a massive upgrade over the street version—making the LM a true track monster.

Kyosho's Ferrari racing model car faithfully replicates the engine bay and performance components in exacting detail, satisfying even the most discerning diecast enthusiasts.

A Rare Ferrari Diecast for Serious Collectors

With fewer than 20 Ferrari F40 LM and Competizione units ever built, these cars are near-mythical in the collector world. That rarity is what makes Kyosho’s 1:12 scale version a must-have for serious Ferrari diecast collectors. It’s not just a display piece—it’s a conversation starter, a tribute, and a slice of Ferrari history.

Final Thoughts

For collectors chasing excellence, the Kyosho 1:12 scale Ferrari F40 LM diecast is more than a model—it's a legacy preserved in metal and precision. Whether you’re passionate about rare Ferrari diecast models, iconic race cars, or the legacy of Enzo Ferrari, this model deserves the spotlight in your collection.
