DRIVEN BY PHIL HILL FIRST AMERICAN TO WIN THE
WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP.THIS IS FROM THE 1961
GRAND PRIX OF FRANCE
The \"Sharknose\" may be the single most adored car in the history
of Formula One. The shape is pure Ecstasy: curvaceous, purposeful,
compact, and just plain beautiful. The purity of the design can be
appreciated by anybody who loves to drive: light weight, nimble,
and powerful, it\'s 1.5-liter V6 putting out a potent 190bhp.
For many, the Tipo 156 F1 also stands apart from the other
World Champions, having been the car to power Phil Hill to become
World Champion in 1961, the first time an American ever claimed
that title!
The Ultimate ChallengeBecause the Scuderia famously discarded and often destroyed old race
cars, Exoto faced a unique challenge in capturing the Tipo 156 F1 --
there are none left to measure and photograph! As a result, the most
intensive research was undertaken to discover the most minute details.
The result is unquestionably the most intricate and accurate 156 F1
replica ever made, and exposes some shameful flaws found in other
companies\' attempts to recreate this fabulous monoposto!
Class of the FieldExoto has always shown the way forward, leading the die-cast industry
on virtually every measure. Having set the bar incredibly high with
our recent releases, Exoto was determined to keep moving the game on,
and has done so with our Tipo 156 F1! From our unprecedented research,
tireless determination, and, frankly, a few flashes of genius, comes a replica
that we\'re genuinely proud of. It breaks the part-count
barrier and smashes the definition of furious detail in 1:18 scale.
