Kunimitsu NSX GT2 Le Mans 1995 [Ebbro 43673]

Ebbro 1/43 scale version of the legendary Team Kunimitsu NSX GT2 #001 which competed in Le Mans in 1995 and won the GT2 class.

"When Honda decided to commence the NSX race program, they commissioned the renowned chassis constructor John Thompson of `Thompson Composites’ to build the race chassis’ (in both GT1 and GT2 form) from a mixture of state-of-the-art carbon-fiber and aluminum. This car, GT2 chassis number 1 was prepared by the ultra-successful Kremer brothers and raced in the German GT Championship in 1994 where it took 5 pole positions, took three wins and finished 2nd overall in the championship standings. It also competed at Le Mans in 1994 when it was piloted by Armin Hahne and former Le Mans victors Christophe Bouchot and Bertrand Gachot and after a steady run it was placed 14th overall and 5th in the GT2 class. It was then entered into the 1995 Le Mans event by seasoned Japanese campaigner Kunimitsu Takahashi and was the only GT2 NSX entered alongside two turbocharged GT1 NSXs. Despite starting the race late and 6 laps down the Japanese trio of Keiichi Tsuchiya, Akira Iida and entrant Kunimitsu Takahashi drove an inspired race to erode the deficit and took GT2 class honors and 8th position overall ahead of the Corvettes and the usual gaggle of Porsches."
