The range, composed of seven 1:38 scale model Gran Turismo Ferraris, has been commissioned to celebrate over 60 years of shared passion for performance by Shell and Ferrari. The technical partnership with Ferrari played an integral role in Shell’s extensive Research & Development programme and is key to the development of Shell V-Power road fuels for customers. Stephanie Cua, Pilipinas Shell Fuels Brand Manager, said “The sound that the Ferrari cars produce is so realistic - the engine revs during ‘pull back’ and changes pitch as the car moves from low to high gear during ‘release’! It is a great way for Shell to celebrate its technical partnership with Ferrari and show that this goes deeper than just Formula One success - it led to the development of Shell V-Power fuel and Shell Helix motor oil for the road.” The Ferrari model cars are designed as a collectable set of seven. Careful thought has been put into the selection of the models featured. The result is a mix of new and historic racing and road Ferrari GT cars. Shell brings you the new Ferrari models:
