June brings a wave of collector highlights across endurance,
F1, rally and road with Le Mans 2025 placeholders leading the charge. From
Ferrari’s dramatic hat-trick to Spark’s GT-flavoured Friday drop, BBR's Stradale, plus new
diecasts, concept cars, and a fresh batch of nostalgic service vehicles—this
month’s releases are packed with variety and motorsport history.
Le MansāÆ2025 Placeholders Now Live – Ferrari’s HatāTrick and Porsche Pushes Ferrari All the Way!
Ferrari has achieved an incredible threeāpeat, with
the Yellow #83 Ferrari 499P AF Corse (Kubica, Ye, Hanson)
claiming overall victory and making it three Ferrari wins in a row. You
can now preāorder in both 1:43 and 1:18scale.
Porsche’s #6 963 from Penske Motorsport, driven by
Kevin Estre, Campbell, and Vanthoor, finished a close second. Estre’s superb
drive from the back of the grid and several lead stints made this a compelling
finish after it looked like Ferrari were going to run away with it.
Valkyries Unleashed – Aston Martin #007 & #009
One of the visual and fan-favourite highlights of the grid?
The debut of the Aston Martin Valkyrie Hypercars. The stunning #007 and #009
THOR entries not only impressed with raw pace and brutal aero but
also turned heads with their menacing, sculpted design. These are among the
most anticipated models in the placeholder lineup—and a must for Aston Martin
collectors.
Other Highlights & Favourites
Ferrari’s #51 still finished 3rd, even with a
slow last hour. Cadillac Hertz Team Jota entries (#12, #38) secured
impressive topā10 finishes. Alpine and BMW debuted
fresh new Hypercar and GT3 liveries. The iconic Iron Dames Porsche GT3R
#85 returned in bold pink. LMGT3 saw strong entries from McLaren,
Ford, Lexus—featuring drivers including Button, Rossi, and vanāÆderāÆLinde.
Placeholder models are offered in anticipation of final manufacturer
confirmation. While there's no guarantee which variants reach production, preāordering
secures your spot—and GPM will manage every step as models are confirmed.
Road Car Classics & Concept Wonders
Matrix continues
its celebration of everyday icons with a trio of 1:43 service vehicles and
support vans straight from the pits to the show floor. Their 105-series Alfa
Romeo “Promiscus” service pay homage to Scuderia Ferrari, Alfa’s own
competition assistance, and distributor livery, while the Opel Blitz
transporters evoke the golden age of GT paddocks. Don’t miss the Reliant Scimitar SE5a GTE in
Princess Anne’s blue and two bold road-going colour, plus Mini Mania’s 1962 Mini Beach
Cars in three pastel schemes.
Meanwhile, Kess has gone truly
