BBR and Minichamps making news today with the announcement that BBR will produce a series of high detail 1/18 scale diecast models of current Ferrari Grand Prix cars to be distributed exclusively by Minichamps worldwide. 

Six versions of the current Ferrari SF16-H will be produced initially. Both Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen versions of the cars as raced in Australia, China and Italy have been announced. The models will be priced at $265.00, lower than BBR's standard range of resin repicas.

Minichamps has not been involved with the production or distribution of Ferrari F1 diecast models since the late 1990s when Mattel negotiated an exclusive license with Ferrari for their Hot Wheels line. Bburago stepped in when Mattel's license expired two years ago and is producing models of similar quality as Mattel at less than half the price. 

With today's announcement, collectors enter a new era. Never before has a manufacturer with BBR's reputation for high-end collector models produced modern day Formula 1 diecast. Although the company primarily uses resin, several years ago they released a series of diecast 1/18 Ferrari 375 plus models that were very well recieved by collectors. We hope to see a similar reaction to today's news.

We are now accepting advance orders for the BBR Ferrari SF16-H series HERE. Please reserve before Thanksgiving to guarantee delivery.

In a separate announcement, BBR says they will produce four different 1/18 scale versions of the Ferrari 250 P in resin, including the 1963 Le Mans winning #21 driven by Ludovico Scarfiotti and Lorenzo Bandini. All part of their excellent series of 1950s and 1960s Ferrari sports racers and Le Mans winners. Although the models will be available with or without a display case, we have listed only the 'with' versions in our Online Shopping website. If you prefer one without the case, we will be happy to reserve one for you.

Scroll down for additional information on both new lines. 

Enjoy Brazil!
