Biante Model Cars are very pleased to present the 1:18 Mercedes-AMG GT3 of Triple Eight Race Engineering. The exclusive replica model as raced by Shane van Gisbergen, Broc Feeney and Prince Jefri Ibrahim to 3rd place in the 2022 Liqui-Moly Bathurst 12-hour endurance race.
Competing independently for the second time, Triple Eight Race Engineering returned to the Bathurst 12-hour endurance race piloted by 2021 Supercars Champion Shane van Gisbergen, Red Bull Ampol Racing rookie Broc Feeney and GT World Challenge rookie Prince Jefri Ibrahim. Although the smallest field competed in the 19th running of the Bathurst 12-hour it was an eventful race with eight safety Car deployments over the entire day with five coming in the first four hours thanks to low-lying fog. The Audi’s dominated qualifying and kept remarkable day-long pace but then came the Mercedes-AMG cars to control the second-half of the endurance race. The bright yellow and green Mann Filters 888 car completed the all-Mercedes podium and marked the first time in the event’s GT3 ear that a single manufacturer has swept the overall podium. Van Gisbergen added this 3rd place to his 12-hour podium finishes in 2016 and 2020, while it was Feeney and Ibrahim’s first podium finish at the endurance event.
Produced in high-quality resin by Spark, the 1:18 Mercedes-AMG GT3 are exquisitely-crafted collectables with fine detail, high quality and perfectly replicated decals and paintwork. These exclusive limited edition collectable models will be produced to order and should not be missed.
