In the spring of 1966, the rumor mill was busy churning out stories of a truly unique car to contest the Can-Am. When the team failed to appear at the first race, nobody was surprised. Until the team appeared late for practice at Bridgehampton, the rumors were dismissed as a hoax. But they did arrive! Sam Posey wrote, "...[they] crouched there smugly as if they knew that their wings had just rendered every other racing car in the world obsolete."
Exoto is proud to bring you a Type 2E replica that will blow the competition away just as fast as the real thing did back in 1966. Words alone cannot describe the detail and attention that we put into our grand 1:18 scale replica: a feast for the eyes and a marvel to hold!
The removable body panels set a new industry standard for fit and finish: beautiful, crisp seams where the bodywork fits together, separate metal rear spoiler, butterfly doors that are held by real wire supports and operate on hinges that are flush with the bodywork, countless photo-etch and genuine wire mesh parts, and a glorious paint finish.
Beneath the skin is miles of real metal wire, machined aluminum, fabric seat belts with photo-etch hardware, functioning steering and suspension, flexible brake cooling ducts, brake discs that turn within fixed calipers, accurate simulated aluminum chassis with all the aerodynamic tricks, and more...
