Amati 1:8 - Model ship - Arno XI Ferrari - Rare model – approx. 90 cm long

Arno XI motorboat model, scale 1:8 NO LONGER AVAILABLE FROM THE FERRARI STORE! A decorative piece also found in the office of Engineer Enzo Ferrari This exquisite 1:8 scale model recreates the legendary Ferrari Arno XI, the one-of-a-kind motorboat powered by a Ferrari engine, designed in the early 1950s by Achille Castoldi together with racing drivers Alberto Ascari and Luigi Villoresi. The Arno XI motorboat expressed its Ferrari DNA in its unmistakable red livery, but above all in its 600-hp V12 engine, which sent it flying across the water to a record speed of 241.708 km/h, achieved in 1953 on Lake Iseo—a record that has never been broken since in the 800 kg category. Exceptionally elegant, with its solid wooden frame covered in mahogany, the Timossi-Ferrari is reproduced perfectly down to the smallest detail in this entirely handmade model. The model is presented on a wooden base. A valuable collectible for lovers of Ferrari history. The model will be shipped in suitable protective packaging.
