About the Ferrari F40 Seco #99 Lesseps / Charriol / Balandras Black Bburago 1:18
TL;DR: Bburago's 1:18 diecast Ferrari F40 reproduces the black Seco #99 competition livery campaigned by Lesseps, Charriol, and Balandras. Built on Bburago's long-running F40 tooling, this GT racing variant brings period motorsport graphics to a mass-market diecast, priced well below resin-tier Ferrari collectibles.
Ferrari's F40 wasn't just a road car. Independent teams raced GT-spec versions across European competition in the early 1990s, and this black Seco livery is one of those privateer entries rendered in diecast.
Bburago's Long-Running F40 Casting in a Racing Livery
Bburago has produced 1:18 Ferrari F40 diecast since shortly after the car's 1987 debut, and this GT racing variant applies a black competition livery to that familiar tooling rather than introducing a new casting from scratch. The zinc-alloy body carries the weight collectors expect from mass-market diecast, and the doors and hood open on functional hinges, giving access to a simplified engine bay behind the F40's distinctive rear louvers. Sponsor graphics for the Seco livery and the #99 racing number are applied with reasonable edge sharpness for the price point, though tolerances run wider than a resin-built alternative would allow. Bburago's decades-long Ferrari license has produced dozens of F40 variants over the years, street and racing alike, and this black Seco car sits comfortably within that long tradition: an accessible way to own a specific competition livery without resin-tier pricing.
The F40's GT Racing Life Beyond the Road Car
Ferrari built the F40 primarily as a road car, but its lightweight construction and twin-turbo V8 made it a natural basis for privateer GT competition once independent teams began campaigning it across European endurance and sprint racing in the early 1990s. Cars like this Seco-liveried #99 entry, driven by Lesseps, Charriol, and Balandras, represent that grassroots racing scene rather than a factory-backed effort, teams buying and preparing their own F40s to compete outside Ferrari's direct involvement. That distinction matters for collectors: a privateer racing livery tells a different story than a factory works car, one closer to the amateur and semi-professional GT racing culture that surrounded the F40 during its production years.
This black Seco F40 works well alongside the other GT liveries in Bburago's F40 range, building a picture of the car's competition life beyond the standard road-going coupe. At entry-level diecast pricing, it's an easy way to add variety to an F40-focused shelf.
