Race Car Background

The full-size Ferrari 512BB/LM #48 competed at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1981 as a Simon Phillips Racing Team entry. The driver line-up was Simon Phillips, Steve Earle and Mike Salmon.

The Sideways model captures the wide Group 5 bodywork, large aerodynamic elements and distinctive endurance-racing appearance of the Ferrari 512BB/LM in period specification.

Technical Notes

The SW95 uses the low-profile Slot.it Flat-6 MN09CH motor. The MN09CH is rated at 20,500 rpm and 200 g·cm at 12 V and is specifically used as the stock Flat-6 motor in Sideways Group 5 cars. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

The documented SW95 drivetrain uses an 11-tooth pinion and 28-tooth spur gear in anglewinder configuration. The model is fitted with plastic front wheels measuring 15.8 × 8.2 mm and aluminium rear wheels measuring 17.3 × 8.2 mm. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Important catalogue note: the publicly available SW95 documentation does not reliably identify individual manufacturer SKUs for every fitted chassis component. Rather than assigning unverified Slot.it references, those components have deliberately been identified without invented part numbers.

Sideways SW95 is supplied as an analogue 1/32 scale slot car, ready for competition-oriented running on compatible analogue systems.
