Mercedes SLS GT3 Zhuhai 2011 #96 Hakkinen/Cheng/Arnold by Spark
Zuhai was the final round of the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup and for this race there was also a GTC class to allow GT3 machinery that usually races in the far east. One of these cars was this AMG Mercedes which saw Mika Hakkinnen make his Le Mans series debut, albeit short lived the car retiring early in the race. The black centre sections of the car have a matt finish on the model though race photos show a slight sheen which suggests bare carbon. Otherwise all the decoration and the shape looks spot on.

About Spark
The range which changed the 1:43 model market and for which we coined the term 'resincast'. Resin rather than traditional diecast bodies mean that relatively short production runs can be made and what might be marginal subjects become viable. Quality is very consistent with plenty of fine etch used where necessary. A huge range is the result, covering all aspects of (mostly postwar) motorsport and a wide variety of road cars. We typically see around 30 new subjects released per month and pre-orders are strongly recommended. Made in China & Madagascar.
