Model History:
The Super Ferrari
1950 marks the birth of Formula 1. Ferrari, with its "Cavallino Rampante" emblem that has remained unchanged to this day, is the only racing team to have been there from the beginning. With great success; the 375 F1 is virtually unbeatable. In 1951, Alfa Romeo, previously Ferrari's bitterest rival, withdraws – boredom threatens to set in. Finally, in 1952, the racing formula is changed: Grand Prix races are held with Formula 2 cars. And as luck would have it, Ferrari already has a suitable car ready: the 500 F2. The vehicle is very light and relatively small. Further advantages include a low center of gravity, a balanced distribution of aggregate weights, good brakes, and the high-torque four-cylinder engine developed by Aurelio Lampredi, with its 185 hp. All in all, this results in excellent handling and good maneuverability. But Ferrari has even more to offer: With Alberto Ascari, a gifted racing driver is ready, who rightly bears the nickname "the flying Milanese".
The proud record: Ascari becomes world champion in 1952 and 1953. Other drivers, such as Villoresi, Farina, Taruffi, or the young Briton Mike Hawthorn, complete the winning streak of the 500 F2 with further good placings. Ferrari wins almost everything there is to win in those two years – and that's why the 500 F2 is given the nickname "Super Ferrari".
With our all-metal model, we pay homage to the legendary world champion car of 1953 with the latest state of technical development. Let the wealth of detail of the model, consisting of 1,463 parts, and the precise craftsmanship impress you. Just take a look under the hood or the removable rear section of the model, and you'll understand what we mean. By the way: We have already counted the rivets on the fuel and oil tank for you. There are exactly 526 of them.
