Kyosho 1:18 Ferrari 575 GTC Evoluzione 2005

Overview

Experience one of Ferrari’s most aggressive front-engine V12 competition cars with the Kyosho 1:18 Ferrari 575 GTC Evoluzione, finished in classic Ferrari red.

Introduced for the 2005 season, the 575 GTC Evoluzione was an extensively revised version of Ferrari’s 575 GTC race car. Developed by Ferrari Corse Clienti, the Evoluzione received significant aerodynamic, engine, cooling, and handling improvements designed to make the 575 more competitive in international GT racing.

Kyosho recreates this formidable Ferrari in substantial 1:18 scale die-cast construction, featuring its dramatically widened competition bodywork, deep front splitter, large rear wing, multi-spoke racing wheels, side exhaust outlets, and detailed racing interior.

This version is presented in a clean red plain-body specification, allowing the dramatic lines and purpose-built aerodynamic features of the 575 GTC Evoluzione to take center stage.

The Ferrari 575 GTC Evoluzione

The original 575 GTC was developed from the road-going Ferrari 575M Maranello as a customer competition car for international GT racing.

For 2005, Ferrari Corse Clienti extensively updated the design to create the 575 GTC Evoluzione. Aerodynamics were revised with a new front splitter, modified hood and improved airflow, while changes to the engine, cooling system, steering and power delivery were intended to improve both performance and handling.

At its heart was a naturally aspirated 5,997cc V12 producing approximately 605 horsepower, paired with a six-speed sequential transmission. With a competition weight of roughly 1,100 kg, the Evoluzione represented a dramatic transformation from the luxurious 575M Maranello on which it was originally based.

A Classic V12 Ferrari GT Racer

With its massive rear wing, widened track, competition aerodynamics and front-mounted V12, the 575 GTC Evoluzione has a character distinctly different from Ferrari’s modern mid-engine GT racers.

The clean red presentation of this model particularly highlights the shape of the car, from its long Maranello-style hood to its enormous rear wing and purposeful racing stance.

For Ferrari enthusiasts, it represents a fascinating period when one of Ferrari’s elegant V12 grand tourers was transformed into a dedicated international GT competition machine.

Collector Appeal

Classic Kyosho Ferrari 1:18 die-cast models have become increasingly desirable among collectors, particularly examples from the era when detailed opening features and substantial metal construction were common.

The 575 GTC Evoluzione is especially impressive in this format. Opening body panels reveal additional mechanical and interior detail, while the heavy die-cast construction gives the model the substantial feel associated with classic premium Kyosho releases.

Its combination of traditional Kyosho construction, Ferrari V12 racing heritage and distinctive plain-body red specification makes this an outstanding addition to a serious Ferrari collection.
