2017 Bathurst 12 Hour BMW M6 GT3

Afew BMW M6 GT3s have appeared in Australian GT racing in the last couple of years. The big German coupes have plenty of presence ontrack, too. Their turbo six-bangers propel them at quite a rate of knots and for the last two years they’ve been knocking at the door when it comes to racing success. So for Minichamps to offer a couple with a local avour, in the big 1:18 scale, is pretty cool. They’re sealed-body die-cast models, so that keeps the price down a bit. There will be both the Richards/Wittman/Winterbottom version from the 2017 Bathurst 12 Hour and the Skaife/Longhurst/Ingall/Glock example available. They’re expected in the third quarter of this year. These models are so new that we don’t have pictures yet, so here’s the real cars. Find out more at www.apexreplicas.com.au
