Hot Wheels Elite Ferrari F40 Competizione - #34 Team Pilot

O so beautiful. Ferrari made only 8 racing F40's. The first two was LM's and the rest Competizions. This particular car came 12th in it's class during the 1995 Le Mans race, a race dominated by the Mclaren F1's. The F40's 3 liter engine was no match for the F1's 6.1 liter power.

This model from Hot Wheels is really something spectacular, I just love all the little details and the branding. Had a opportunity to get a white F40 Competizione (Tip Top branded) a  while back which I let slipped between my fingers. You also get one in the tri-colours of Italy.

My collections of Ferrari's is now steadily growing although it is becoming harder and harder to stick to my budget because of my wishlist and rarity of these models in South Africa. This was a little bit over my budget, ~ $150, but well worth it.
