Hot Wheels Ferrari Enzo

Over the past 60 years of so that Ferrari has been building road cars there has been a three that really stood out. The first for me was the 250 GTO, followed by the F40 and lastly the Enzo. Not the fastest or the prettiest but something about it just makes the Enzo very special. 

This is a Foundation model, meaning it is missing some of the finer details found on the Elite range. Still very nice.

What I love about this car: The nose design.









Ricko Porsche 365B

One of the true classic sport cars on the decade, especially in black like this one. My first model from Ricko, I was really surprised with the amount of detail on this car. Inside even the carpets are real!

What I love about this car: The wonderful interior with real carpets and lots of detail.









Hot Wheels Ferrari F512M

Somewhere in the 80's every young car mad boy had either a poster of a Countach or a Testarossa on his bedroom wall.  

This model is not the 'classic' Testarossa with the pop up lights. Also not red as I prefer my Ferrari's. For the price it's okay but it lacks some detail notably around the engine bay. Check out the wheel design, something unusual.

What I love about this car: The large side intakes, a classic 512 design.

Hot Wheels Ferrari F50

Ferrari build the F50 to be a successor to the iconic F40 but it never really lived up to F40's status. Powered by an F1 engine the F50 was suppose to be as close to Formula One car as possible but it was only slightly faster than the F40. Only 349 was build. 

This is a F50 model celebrates the 60 year of Ferrari building road cars. As part of the birthday a Ferrari owners took there cars on a relay thru 50 countries.

What I love about this car: The big fin at the back.

Hot Wheels Ferrari 458 Italia

The 458 for me is one of the most beautiful cars ever made, especially in the coupe version. That curve from the b-pillar over the back wheels are just plain stunning, something that the Spider does not have.

The 458 currently has the highest output for a natural aspired car per liter (93 kW /l) giving a time of only 3.3 seconds to get to a 100 km/h with a top speed of 325 km/h.

This model is a Hot Wheels Foundation model, meaning the detail is not as good as my 458 Spider that's from the Elite range. Still a stunning model of an great car.

What I love about this car: The curves over the back wheels.
