Welcome 2026

We have just jumped with both feet in this New Year that begins under the snow in France. Let’s hope that it meets our expectations and let’s make some wishes come true...

Centenary of Lorraine-Dietrich at the 24 Hours of Le Mans 1926

Initiated in February 2024 with the scanner of the scale 1 model of Mr. and Mrs. Leroux at the museum in Sinsheim, Germany, where it was exhibited, the Lorraine-Dietrich project finally saw the light of day. We have just delivered in a few weeks the Lorraine-Dietrich to 1/18th and 1/32nd. For each scale, we market the 3 numbers that tripled on the podium. In addition at 1/18th, we also have versions without driver for the Pantheon range.

1/43rd: LE MANS miniatures, the return

After abandoning the GTS range in 2006, 20 years after LE MANS miniatures relaunches a new collection of built models at 1/43rd. The first model is in production at the time I am writing these few lines. It is the Bugatti T59 of the 1934 Monaco Grand Prix.

For those who follow us on the other scales, this model has already been released in 1/18th and 1/32nd. Five original versions are proposed for this new model: 3 cars driven by experienced pilots under the brand LE MANS miniatures and 2 without driver PANTHEON branded.

Other references should follow. Our wish is to offer legendary racing cars that have not been the subject of recent production in an unmatched value for money.

 24 Hours of Le Mans 1971

Porsche 917K n°19 & 22

The Porsche 917K n°22 is the 32^nd Le Mans winner in the 1/32nd reproduced by LE MANS miniatures. It’s a completely new body than the 1971 917K. The real car is completely remodeled compared to the 1970 version. The rear bonnet has been widened as well as the tires. You can find again the rear tubular treillis with a pretty finesse. The body of the n°19 is also modified compared to the n°22, the Naca air intakes, the lights: here again one can play games of differences.

Porsche 917/20 n°23

We take advantage of the production of other 917 to manufacture again the famous 917/20 n°23 of the same year, also nicknamed the "pink pig" with its livery in "butcher" colors. The last production dates from 2016.

Painted figurines in scale 1/18th

At the beginning of this year, we are finishing the program announced for 2025 with the delivery of 3 iconic characters of motor racing, namely for those who will recognize them, the Chenard & Walcker drivers André Lagache and Christian Dauvergne. The 3rd man is also recognizable in the person of Georges Durand, 1st General Secretary of the ACO from 1906 and inventor of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
