The 340 was the first of the "America" series of Ferraris; This series represents cars that were marketed towards the American market through Ferrari's American Importer, Luigi Chinetti of the North American Racing Team (NART). The 1:1 Ferrari 340 America was designed to use the new 375 horsepower Lampredi-designed V12 developed for Formula One racing. Only 11 of this model were originally built by Vignale.

A Ferrari 340 America Spider (Chassis number 0196A) competed in the 1952 LeMans 24 Hours driven by the French team of Louis Rosier and Maurice Trintignant. The highlight victory for the 340 America came at the 1951 Mille Miglia when Chassis number 0082A driven by Luigi Villoresi took the overall win.

It is worth noting that one of the 5 Ferrari 340 America Spiders known to exist today (Chassis number 0140A) was sold for more than 2.5 million U.S. dollars at a Pebble Beach auction in 2010.

Studio 65 Produces First 1/32 RTR

John Kit's Studio 65 is known by 1/32 slot racers for their line of classic driver busts, track side buildings and slot car detailing parts.

Now John and his daughter Emma have taken the next step and launched Studio 65's first ready to run slot car.

Studio 65's initial offering is a 1/32 scale Jaguar XK120, in a club-sport configuration. Each racer is hand built by John and Emma, and they boast a resin body with a brass chassis.

Most of the work was done by Emma, who learned how to make molds, pour resin, paint and solder. The cars you see here are the result of her effort.
