    This is the Mazda 787B 2.6L #55 Winner 1991 24h Le Mans in 1:18 scale by Werk83.With Beautiful Clamshell Box!The Mazda 787B, bearing the iconic No. 55 and fielded by Team Mazdaspeed, made motorsport history by winning the 1991 24 Hours of Le Mans, driven by Bertrand Gachot, Johnny Herbert, and Volker Weidler. This victory was unique and groundbreaking as it marked the first—and to date, only—win by a Japanese manufacturer and a rotary engine-powered car at Le Mans. The 787B’s 2.6L Wankel rotary engine delivered unmatched reliability and performance, allowing it to outlast more powerful competitors. The trio of drivers demonstrated remarkable skill and endurance, with Johnny Herbert famously collapsing from exhaustion after the race. The triumph not only cemented Mazda’s place in Le Mans lore but also highlighted the innovation and determination required to achieve success in the world’s most grueling endurance race.This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. These diecast models are exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Interior detail is hand assembled and easily visible. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used for a most authentic replication.
