TrueScale Miniatures partners with Ford Motor Company to produce various scale models of the Ford GT and the Ford GT Le Mans race car. Let’s hope these are diecast models with opening bits! Full press release is found below.
“TSM-Model is excited to announce its new partnership with Ford Motor Company to produce various scale models of the new Ford GT and the Ford GT Le Mans race car. We are honored to have this opportunity to partner with Ford and produce models of such an iconic car in racing history. We are confident that we will be able to deliver models that reflect the beautiful styling and intricate attention to detail this car is known for.
The all new Ford GT debuted at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show and boasts an all new carbon fiber and aluminum construction with a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 engine producing 600bhp. With this newly designed Ford GT, Ford aims to have a vehicle capable of competing with high end exotics in both performance and its stunning new looks. This is however not Fords only ground breaking news with the recent announcement that they will be returning to the 24 Hours of Le Mans race in 2016 on what is the 50th anniversary of their 1966 podium sweep in the GT-40. This announcement was accompanied by release of the new Ford GT race car that will be competing in the Le Mans race. We are very excited to see Fords return to the Le Mans Race and look forward to producing some stunning models of this iconic car.”
I FOR ONE WILL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO THESE MODELS AS TSM HAVE SHOWN THE ABILITY TO ACTUALLY PRODUCE WHAT THEY ANNOUNCE… UNLIKE OTHERS WHO ANNOUNCE, AND DON’T PRODUCE.
