About the Ferrari 250 GTO #96 Red Italian Flag 1962 Bburago 1:18
TL;DR: Bburago's 1:18 diecast Ferrari 250 GTO #96 in red with the Italian tricolor stripe reproduces a second period livery of the 1962 GT racer. Only 36 250 GTOs were ever built, and this diecast makes the shape accessible at a fraction of premium resin pricing.
A red 250 GTO with an Italian flag stripe carries obvious patriotic weight, a livery choice that ties the car directly to its national origin rather than any particular racing team.
Bburago's Casting in a Second 250 GTO Livery
This red, flag-striped example uses the same tooling as Bburago's other 250 GTO colorways, the manufacturer's usual opening doors and hood, zinc-alloy weight, and mass-market panel tolerances applied consistently across the range. The tricolor stripe running the length of the body is a straightforward but effective graphic, applied cleanly enough to read correctly at 1:18 without the sharper edges a premium resin livery would carry. Bizzarrini's aerodynamic influence on the original bodywork still comes through in the car's low nose and long tail, regardless of which era-appropriate livery covers it.
Building a 250 GTO Livery Collection at an Accessible Price
Because the 250 GTO raced across multiple seasons and teams in the early 1960s, real cars wore a range of liveries, and this diecast series lets a collector recreate that variety without the cost a matching set of resin models would demand. Set beside a green-and-white striped sibling casting, this red flag livery adds genuine visual range to a 250 GTO shelf. For a subject this historically significant, having more than one accessible entry point matters, and Bburago's range delivers exactly that at a price where owning two or three variants remains realistic.
