DaVinci provides 1:1 model of the winning Le Mans racing car
DaVinci delivered in February 1:1 model of the winning Le Mans racing car - Porsche RS Spyder
Team Essex won in 2009 the classic 24 Hours of Le Mans race in the class for prototypes and train while the Michelin Green X Challenge award.
The team had shortly before the race had an agreement with Michelin to sponsor the tires on the car had their special green colors and logo. As the Essex team goes and wins Michelin wants to buy the car, but since it has already been sold to an American collector, offers team manager Bo Nielsen to have produced a model of 1:1.
Team boss Bo Nielsen addresses DaVinci to get manufactured model. DaVinci then began to scan a model car in 1:43, when the original was no longer available and out of it and a lot of reference photos from Le Mans, modeled Lars Pedersen car in 3D CAD. The model was ex-post milled in 1:1 on a big five-Axis-hoe with 10 mm new sub-objectives, then was having suffered by model of pasta, as was milled down to the finished surface, giving a slightly core of polystyrene and a hard shell of 10 mm. The car was then sanded and painted and finally wrapped in foil with the original colors and logo, so it appears as the initial prototype.
The car will continue to be an exclusive representative of the Michelin Green X Callange concept on display at Michelin in Paris
