Fenix have introduced their Classique series CT2 12-cylinder Formula body shell. Back in the good old days 12-cylinder engines were the hot ticket and for the 1967 season, several teams made use of them. Fenix now recreated one of the popular designs with the new Classique CT2 body shell sporting a highly detailed 12-cylinder engine with matching exhaust system. The lid is moulded from clear high-quality polycarbonate material and it fits Fenix’s wingless Formula chassis and it is available from now on.
