This is a 1:43 diecast scale model Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 as driven in the 2023 Repco Bathurst 1000 by Brodie Kostecki and David Russell.
It's fair to say that the Gen3 platform really suited Erebus Motorsport and Brodie Kostecki straight out of the blocks. With major backing from Coca-Cola, Kostecki's #99 Camaro not only looked awesome, but had been fast all year, claiming multiple poles, race wins and podiums to sit around the top of the championship standings for the majority of the season.
Come the Bathurst 1000, Kostecki, joined by co-driver David Russell, continued the trend with the Coke Camaro looking ridiculously quick in the lead up to qualifying. After easily making the Top Ten Shootout, Kostecki blitzed the field with his one lap flyer by half a second - clocking a time of 2:04.2719s to see him claim his first Bathurst 1000 Pole Position honour.
On race day Kostecki and Russell both drove exceptionally well and led the race for 38 laps but ultimately couldn't match the strength of the #97 Triple Eight Camaro to finish one place off the top step of the podium in second place. It was the second time the duo had finished on the podium with Erebus after a third place finish in 2021.
This 1:43 scale model is has been produced in high quality sealed body die-cast with clear windows, detailed racing cockpit and undercarriage details unique to the Gen3 floorpan.
Comprised of roughly 65 individual metal and plastic parts plus anywhere between 50-100 steps in paint and decoration finishing, this is a high quality collectors model for fans of this scale.
It has been produced in an one-off limited edition of 360 cars, presented in a display case with the model attached to a white base plate which features the car details printed on it. An individually numbered backing board featuring the edition number is also included as part of the package and acts as the Certificate of Authenticity for the release.
Once this model is sold out, it won't be available again.
