About the Ferrari 250 LM #21 M. Gregory / J. Rindt NART 24 Hours of Le Mans Winner 1965 Hot Wheels 1:18
TL;DR: Hot Wheels' 1:18 diecast Ferrari 250 LM reproduces car number 21, the NART entry driven by Masten Gregory and Jochen Rindt to outright victory at the 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans. Diecast construction captures the prototype's period bodywork, a genuinely historic subject for any Ferrari or endurance racing collection.
The 250 LM's 1965 Le Mans win stood as Ferrari's last outright victory at the race for decades, which alone makes this specific liveried car worth knowing.
Hot Wheels' Diecast Rendering of the 250 LM
Number 21's NART livery, blue with the team's distinctive markings, is applied across the 250 LM's compact, curvaceous prototype body, and diecast construction reproduces its rounded rear haunches and low, purposeful stance with reasonable fidelity for the tier. Hot Wheels positions its diecast collector line closer to mass-market pricing than premium resin alternatives, an honest trade-off that shows in panel gaps and interior simplicity but delivers a recognizable, correctly-proportioned shape at an accessible price point. The car's mid-engine layout, distinctive for a Ferrari of this period, is reflected in the model's rear-biased greenhouse and short front overhang.
An Outright Le Mans Win That Stood for Decades
Masten Gregory and Jochen Rindt drove this NART-entered 250 LM to overall victory at the 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans, a result that became Ferrari's last outright win at the race for a very long stretch of the following decades, a gap only closed much more recently by a modern Ferrari hypercar. That drought gives the 1965 win outsized historical weight among Ferrari collectors, far beyond what a single race result would normally carry. For anyone building a Ferrari racing heritage shelf, this particular livery marks a genuine turning point, the last time this badge stood on top of that podium for a very long time afterward.
