This is the 1968 Ferrari 250 P5 Red in 1:18 scale by Top Marques.

The 250 P5 features an aerodynamic and elegant body, with smooth and fluid lines that reduced air resistance. The sloped windshield and low roof gave it a futuristic look, while the modern shapes and aerodynamic solutions, such as integrated air intakes and rear lights, improved its track performance.

Under the hood, the Ferrari 250 P5 was equipped with a 3.0-liter V12 engine, producing around 280 horsepower, allowing it to reach speeds exceeding 280 km/h. The engine was paired with a 5-speed transmission and a lightweight yet rigid chassis, ensuring stability and maneuverability on complex circuits, like Le Mans.

Despite its advanced design and performance, the 250 P5 did not have a long racing career. The vehicle was primarily used by private teams but never dominated competitions, partly due to the strong competition from models like the Porsche 917. While it did not win prestigious titles, it stood out for its speed and reliability in certain races, showcasing Ferrari’s advanced engineering.

Today, the Ferrari 250 P5 is considered a rare and highly valuable historic racing car. Its beauty and sophisticated engineering have made it a cult object for classic car collectors. Although it did not achieve the hoped-for victories in racing, the 250 P5 remains a symbol of innovation and automotive excellence. It continues to be one of the most sought-after and admired Ferraris among fans and collectors, a testament to the ingenuity and talent that defined Ferrari in the 1960s.


The 1968 Ferrari 250 P5 was a radical concept car that stunned the automotive world with its futuristic design and advanced aerodynamics. Created by Pininfarina, the P5 debuted at the Geneva Motor Show as a bold vision of Ferrari’s future, featuring a dramatic wedge shape, gullwing-style canopy, and minimal overhangs—an aesthetic years ahead of its time. While never intended for production or racing, the P5's mid-engine layout and sleek profile influenced later Ferrari prototypes and supercars. What truly set it apart was how it bridged the gap between race car aggression and conceptual art, showcasing Ferrari’s ambition to lead not just in performance, but in visionary automotive design.

This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. Resin models are
exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Each model is created using a variety of production
processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite material referred to in the
industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used
for the most authentic replication.
