Brodie Kostecki and Todd Hazelwood once again proved to be a dynamic duo, delivering the Shell V-Power Racing Team a landmark result by winning the 2025 AirTouch 500 at The Bend. The inaugural endurance race at the South Australian circuit was made even more memorable as the pair secured the 150th championship race victory for Dick Johnson Racing.
It was a commanding performance, with Hazelwood setting up the race in the early stages, highlighted by a clinical pass on Jamie Whincup to take the lead before handing over to Kostecki, who brought the Shell V-Power Racing Team Mustang home despite immense pressure from a charging Cam Waters. For DJR, Australia’s longest-running Supercars outfit, the milestone cements their place among the sport’s most successful teams, joining Triple Eight Race Engineering and Walkinshaw Andretti United as the only other teams in Supercars history to achieve 150 wins.
A moment like this is tailor-made for collectors, and Authentic Collectables is proud to be replicating the winning Ford Mustang GT in diecast model form. Produced with the accuracy and attention to detail collectors expect, this model celebrates not only an endurance triumph but also a milestone chapter in DJR’s rich history.
This 1:18 scale model is scheduled to be produced in high quality die-cast with opening parts which includes the bonnet and both the driver and passenger doors.
A highly detailed racing cockpit can be seen through the molded clear glasshouse, or by opening the doors to examine the interior further. Under the bonnet includes a detailed 5.4-litre Coyote quad overhead cam V8 and engine bay surround. Underneath the model, the undercarriage details the unique Gen3 floorpan.
Comprised of roughly 204 individual metal and plastic parts, with anywhere between 100-200 steps in paint and decoration finishing, including tampo printing where possible, photo etched parts including the bonnet pints, brake rotors and more, this is a high quality, detailed collectors model.
It will come in an exclusive, one-off limited edition with an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity presented in its own, Authentic Collectables branded protective cardboard folder.
For the first time, this model will also include a scale replica of the #1 winner pit-board from Pirtek victory lane.
