About the Ferrari 250 GTO #18 P. Rodriguez Daytona Continental 3 Hours Winner 1963 Kyosho 1:18
TL;DR: Kyosho's 1:18 diecast Ferrari 250 GTO #18 reproduces Pedro Rodriguez's winning car from the 1963 Daytona Continental 3 Hours. A precision diecast recreation of a documented race-winning GTO, from a production run of only 36 cars.
Only 36 Ferrari 250 GTOs were ever built, and this specific car earned its place in that small group by winning outright at Daytona.
Pedro Rodriguez's Daytona Continental Victory
The Daytona Continental 3 Hours, an early forerunner to what would eventually become the Daytona 24 Hours, saw Pedro Rodriguez take outright victory in this NART-entered Ferrari 250 GTO in 1963, a genuine result rather than a generic racing livery applied for style. The GTO itself remains one of the most successful GT racing cars ever built, dominating its class across multiple seasons through a combination of Ferrari's V12 power and Bizzarrini's aerodynamic body development, and with only 36 examples produced, every surviving car carries its own individually documented competition history. This particular #18 livery ties directly to that Daytona result rather than an invented race number.
Kyosho's Precision Approach to a Landmark Subject
Kyosho has built a reputation for precision diecast work, particularly on significant motorsport subjects, and the 250 GTO's long hood, fastback roofline, and subtle aerodynamic details reward that level of care. The livery-specific numbering and period sponsor decals give this piece genuine documentary value beyond generic GTO styling. For a historic Ferrari GT shelf, or any collection tracing 1960s endurance racing's most successful production-based racers, a correctly numbered, race-winning GTO like this is about as significant as the segment gets.
