The Ferrari 488 GTE EVO of Team Kessel Racing at La Sarthe, now in your showcase

Tarmac Works presents the reference T64-071-23LM5: a 1/64 scale diecast miniature of the Ferrari 488 GTE EVO 3.9L Turbo V8 with which Team Kessel Racing competed under the number 57 at the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans. A piece designed for the collector who does not settle for approximations: they want the correct car, in the correct race, with the exact livery.

The car and the race

The Ferrari 488 GTE EVO is the evolution of the GTE platform developed in Maranello for GT endurance racing. With its 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 engine and revised aerodynamics compared to the original 488 GTE, it was the weapon of choice for numerous private teams in the GTE Am categories of major endurance events. At Le Mans 2023, with the disappearance of the GTE Pro class, GTE Am concentrated all the attention of GT racing fans. The Team Kessel Racing, a Swiss team with a long history in Ferrari Challenge and WEC, fielded car No. 57 in that edition, bringing the combination of experience and passion that characterises high-level Ferrari privateer programmes.
