Ferrari 156F1, 1961 #4 Hill / Spa lim. Edition 6.000 pieces
The
1961 Formula 1 season came up with a completely
new rule type. The racing teams had to switch
their engines from 2.5 to 1.5 liters. Ferrari
found itself in a very good position. They had
developed a V6 mid-mounted engine with a 120
degrees cylinder angle and a maximum output of
190 hp. The new 156 F1 had a very unusual front
design. So pretty soon, many people gave it the
nickname Sharknose. Technically and ostensibly,
the 156F1 was the most successful development in
1961.
The season ended for the Scuderia with a large
success but also with a disastrous tragedy. Phil
Hill became the first American Formula 1 World
Champion. The German Ferrari star Wolfgang Graf
Berghe von Trips, that led the ranking for most
of the
season, became involved in a deadly accident in Monza. Never before joy and teariness was that close on just one day.Our three different models represent all different successful GP appearances of the 156 F1 during the 1961 season. As a matter of course, all three models will reflect the special features of the respective race.

Annotation:
It is factual that no original Ferrari 156
F1 exists in the whole world. But after
months of meticulous research and
contacting countless Ferrari experts, CMC
was able to get all necessary data for a
harmonious model development. Thanks to
that kind of knowledge about the car and
its famous drivers, we are in a position to
accomplish this mission impossible with
true-to-the-original details and the well
known CMC craftsmanship and quality.
