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.
