The CMC GmbH Classic Model Cars is proud to present to you our new 2008 model releases for the first time at this year`s Toy Fair.
Porsche 911 (901) Coupé, 1964
Scale 1:18
The successful performance of the legendary Porsche 356, the Type 901 sports coupé, was first introduced to the public on the 12<sup>th</sup> of September in 1963 at the IAA in Frankfurt. One year later by October 1964, the 901 had already reached the stage of series-producton readiness and was debuted at the Parisian Auto show. The company of Peugeot protested, and forced Porsche to change the center-positioned number zero in their type designation, because they owned a copyright of all triple-digit type designations with a zero in the middle. Subsequently, Porsche decided to redefine the type designation as 911.
But still some 82 pieces of the serial production had left the Porsche plant with the type designation 901 (real collectors’ rarities). On the 27<sup>th</sup> of October in 1964, the first model with the type designation 911 was delivered.
From now on it`s that three digit number, that raises the heartbeat of all sports cars enthusiasts around the world. The “nine elevenu201D; success story was irresistible.

Ferrari Dino 156 F1, 1961 Sharknose
Scale 1:18
The 1961 Formula 1 season came up with a completely new rule type. The racing teams had to switch their engines from 2.5 to 1.5 liters.
Ferrari found itself in a very good position. They had developed a V6 mid-mounted engine with a 120 degrees cylinder angle and a maximum output of 190 hp.
The new 156 F1 had a very unusual front design. So pretty soon, many people gave it the nickname Sharknose. Technically and ostensibly, the 156F1 was the most successful development in 1961.
The season ended for the Scuderia with a large success but also with a disastrous tragedy.
Phil Hill became the first American Formula 1 World Champion. The German Ferrari star Wolfgang Graf Berghe von Trips, that led the ranking for most of the season, became involved in a deadly accident in Monza. Never before joy and teariness was that close on just one day.
Our three different models represent all different successful GP appearances of the 156 F1 during the 1961 season. As a matter of course, all three models will reflect the special features of the respective race.

Annotation: It is factual that no original Ferrari 156 F1 exists in the whole world. But after months of meticulous research and contacting countless Ferrari experts, CMC was able to get all necessary data for a harmonious model development. Thanks to that kind of knowledge about the car and its famous drivers, we are in a position to accomplish this mission impossible with true-to-the-original details and the well known CMC craftsmanship and quality.
Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, 1958
Scale 1:18
One of the most classy and also successful racing sports cars of all times. Ferrari`s flagship for endurance races. Pininfarina was the responsible designer for the extra light Aluminium body. The building of the bodywork was done by coachbuilder Scaglietti.
The victory at the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1958 by Olivier Gendebien and Phil Hill found its way into automobile history.
The name Testa Rossa was created because of its red painted valve hoods of the powerful 300 hp 12 cylinder engine.
His body is more than spectacular. The so-called Pontoon Fenders gave him is extraordinary look. The CMC model is an authentic replication of an original 1958 model.

Auto Union Type C, starting number 4
GP of Germany, 1936
Item-No. M-073
Scale 1:18
Limited editon of 5,000 pcs.
1936 was the year of Auto Union and its young driver Bernd Rosemeyer. He became the new star in the European racing scene.
It was a clash of the titans, Mercedes-Benz VS Auto Union. The GP of Germany on July 26 was just another round of that fight.
The agile and highly talented Bernd Rosemeyer was able to handle the 16 cylinder v-engine powerhouse of Auto Union Type C like no one else ever had. The mid-mounted engine of the vehicle, developed by Dr. Ferdinand Porsche, broke new ground for its time
With his starting number 4, Bernd Rosemeyer achieved a prestigious victory. His team mate Hans Stuck, also on Auto Union Type C, became 2<sup>nd</sup>. Mercedes had to leave the track with empty hands this time.
Our limited edition models represents the victorious Auto Union Type C race car with starting number 4.
Mercedes-Benz W165 starting number 24
GP of Tripolis, 1939
Item.-No. M-074
Scale 1:18
Limited edition of 5,000 pcs.
The racing world had been awaiting the new “mini“ Silver Arrows, Mercedes-Benz W165 with great suspense. Its debut was scheduled for the GP of Tripolis, at the race track of Mellaha, on the 7<sup>th</sup> of May in 1939.
Mercedes-Benz had managed to develop and build this new race car within 6 months. That was all the time they had to adapt it to the new rules that allowed only 1.5 liter engines.
Hermann Lang with starting number 16 and Rudolf Caracciola with starting number 24, were the pilots of choice and they achieved a sensational double victory. Herman Lang became the victor with starting numer 16 (CMC released that model already in a limited edition). Rudolf Caracciola with starting number 24 became second.
With the Caracciola model, starting number 24, CMC completes its presentation of the victorious W165 twins of Tripolis that achieved an outstanding triumph for Mercedes-Benz.
Those are news I received this morning from german CMC factory about new realise for 2008.
they aloso sent me some pictures of the masters in progress.
Cmc is the status of the art in scale modelling in 1/18 scale (much more nicer than any Exoto).
Only bad point is, imho , they use to make a LOT of german-nazi cars of the 30's(auto union and mercs rulez..)
Think I've asked them thousand times to make a GT40 mk1, a 250GTO, a P4...and now a 206sp
In pure german way they always tell me..NEIN...but now I see they have scheduled 2 Ferrari of the 50s.
La speranza non muore mai..
