13209 SF-24 Racing Car Model Building Set | 1,401 Pcs

SF-24 Racing Car — Scuderia Ferrari's Formula 1 Warrior

This 1,401-piece build recreates Ferrari's SF-24 Formula 1 car — the machine that carried Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz into battle during the 2024 World Championship season. With functional DRS, a working gearbox, and the kind of aerodynamic detail that F1 demands, this is a serious tribute to the pinnacle of motorsport engineering.

The Real Machine

The Ferrari SF-24 represents the latest chapter in the most storied team in Formula 1 history. Scuderia Ferrari has been racing in F1 since the championship's inaugural season in 1950, accumulating more Constructors' Championships, race victories, and podium finishes than any other team. The SF-24 is powered by a 1.6-liter turbocharged V6 hybrid power unit producing approximately 740 horsepower — a remarkable figure from such small displacement, achieved through advanced turbocharging, an MGU-K (kinetic energy recovery), and an MGU-H (heat energy recovery from the turbocharger). The car generates enormous downforce through its sculpted floor and aerodynamic surfaces, allowing cornering speeds that put multiple G-forces on the driver's body. Every element is optimized: the front wing directs airflow around the tires, the sidepods manage cooling while minimizing drag, and the rear wing features DRS (Drag Reduction System) that opens on straights to reduce drag and increase top speed by approximately 10-15 km/h.

Design & Build

At 1,401 pieces, this model captures the SF-24's complex aerodynamic surfaces with impressive fidelity. The standout feature is a functional DRS system on the rear wing — the flap actually opens and closes, replicating the real car's drag-reduction mechanism. A working 2-speed gearbox demonstrates transmission concepts, while the hybrid power unit is removable, allowing you to examine the V6 engine in detail. Printed Pirelli slick tires add authenticity without relying on stickers, and the detailed suspension geometry at both front and rear replicates the push-rod systems used in real F1 cars. The iconic Ferrari red, naturally, dominates the color scheme throughout.

What Builders Love

• Working DRS — The functional drag reduction system is a brilliant interactive feature that demonstrates one of F1's most tactically important technologies
• Ferrari heritage — Building a Scuderia Ferrari F1 car connects you to the most legendary team in racing history
• Technical accuracy — The removable power unit, suspension geometry, and printed tires show genuine attention to F1 engineering details
• No stickers — Printed elements mean the finished model maintains its appearance permanently without peeling or misalignment concerns

Worth Considering

• Season-specific — F1 cars change dramatically every year; this represents the 2024 season car specifically, which may date faster than road car models
• Fragile aerodynamics — The delicate front and rear wings that make this model accurate also make it more vulnerable to bumps and handling
• Open-wheel design — F1 cars look very different from road cars; their beauty is functional rather than conventional

Specifications

The Bottom Line

The SF-24 brings Formula 1's most advanced engineering to your building table. With functional DRS, a working gearbox, and a removable hybrid power unit, this 1,401-piece model doesn't just look like a Ferrari F1 car — it teaches you how one works. For F1 fans, Ferrari devotees, and anyone fascinated by the cutting edge of automotive technology, this is the closest you can get to the Maranello pit garage without a paddock pass.
