BMW M1 #83 1980 24h Le Mans in 1:43 scale
This is the BMW M1 #83 1980 24h Le Mans in 1:43 scale by IXO.
The BMW M1 #83, driven by Didier Pironi, Dieter Quester, and Marcel Mignot, competed in the 1980 24 Hours of Le Mans, one of the most grueling endurance races in motorsport. The BMW M1, designed originally as a road-going supercar before being adapted for racing, featured a powerful 3.5L inline-six engine and distinctive wedge-shaped design. The 1980 edition of Le Mans was particularly notable for Porsche's dominance, with the 936 securing overall victory. For the M1, competing in the IMSA GTX class, the race was a true test of reliability against prototypes and more developed endurance machines. Despite its strong lineup, the #83 M1 faced tough competition and mechanical challenges, reflecting both the potential and limitations of the M1 in long-distance racing.
Excellent quality and finish. Beautifully crafted and exquisitely detailed. Models are hand
painted, decorated and assembled. Beautiful detail and accuracy of shape and scale. Photo
etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are also used. Each model
comes with its own acrylic display case.
