This is the AC Cobra 289 #4 1963 24h Le Mans in 1:18 scale by Spark.

The AC Cobra 289, car number 4, competed in the 1963 24 Hours of Le Mans, driven by an ambitious team eager to challenge the dominant European manufacturers. The Cobra 289, known for its powerful V8 engine and lightweight chassis, was an American-British collaboration that brought a new level of competition to Le Mans. The 1963 race was unique because it marked a significant moment for American sports cars in the endurance racing scene, with the Cobra 289 showcasing raw speed and performance against the more established Ferraris and Porsches. Despite its potential, the #4 Cobra faced the grueling demands of the 24-hour race, battling mechanical issues and the fierce competition on the challenging Circuit de la Sarthe. Though it didn't achieve a top finish, the AC Cobra 289's participation at Le Mans in 1963 highlighted the beginning of a new era where American muscle cars started making their mark on the world stage of endurance racing.
