About the Ferrari 250 GTO #172 Tour de France 1964 Bburago 1:18
TL;DR: Bburago's 1:18 diecast Ferrari 250 GTO #172 recreates a 1964 Tour de France Automobile entry, the endurance road-and-track event that GTOs regularly contested in period. Mass-market diecast pricing brings one of the most significant GT racers ever built within easy reach.
Few competition cars carry the weight the 250 GTO does, a Ferrari built purely to win GT racing and remembered as arguably the pinnacle of the breed. Bburago's diecast makes that legend genuinely affordable.
The 250 GTO's Racing Bloodline
Ferrari built the 250 GTO specifically to dominate GT racing in the early 1960s, and it did so with a run of results that still anchor its reputation today, including class victories at Le Mans across multiple seasons. The Tour de France Automobile was one of the era's toughest tests, a grueling road-and-circuit event that combined long-distance touring with outright racing speed, and Ferrari's GTOs were regular, competitive entries in it. Wearing #172, this particular livery represents that side of the car's history, the endurance-format competition that demanded reliability as much as raw pace.
Bringing a Legend to Mass-Market Diecast
Bburago's 1:18 zinc alloy construction gives this GTO real heft, with opening doors and hood typical of the manufacturer's diecast line, though panel gaps run wider than a premium resin or hand-built alternative would allow. The competition livery and race number are applied cleanly enough to read correctly from shelf distance, capturing the car's long hood and fastback roofline, the shapes that made it instantly recognizable on track. It won't match a specialist resin builder's shut lines, but it delivers the silhouette at a fraction of the cost.
A Centerpiece for a Ferrari GT Collection
This GTO anchors a Ferrari racing display convincingly, an accessible way to own one of the marque's most significant competition shapes without investment-tier pricing.
