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.

Hot Wheels Ferrari FXX
So after Ferrari build 401 Enzo's they decided to build another 30 special Enzo's. The body looks pretty much the same apart from the head lights and the spoilers on the tail.
The V12 engine size was increase to 6.3 litres meaning going from the Enzo's 485 kW to 588 kW, and this is done without any turbos etc! 0 - 100 km/h takes less than 3 seconds and top speed is around the 350 km/h mark.
All this for just $1.8 million if your where one of the few lucky ones chosen by Ferrari to own one of these beasts.
Originally I was in the market for an Enzo and not really interested in the FXX but my mind changed when I saw this red beauty. From the Hot Wheels Elite range meaning that the detail is incredibly good. A real show piece my collection and maybe my best model to date.
Some trivia, in 2009 Micheal Schumacher did a time of 1:10.7 with his black FXX around the Top Gear test track, that's fast. A Lamborghini Aventador does it in 1:16.5 and a Bugatti Veyron in 1.16.8.
What I love about this car: The engine detail is amazing.

Hot Wheels Ferrari F2004
The F2004 surely is the most successful modern day F1 car. Micheal Schumacher won 15 out of the 18 races during the 2004 season with this car. This includes 12 pole positions.
This my first 1:43 scale model and also my first one of an F1 car.
Hot Wheels Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale
Like the F50 and the Enzo, the Challenge Stradale epitomizes the very essence of a racing car, featuring only those items essential to performance and safety. It was inspired by the challenge racing series and can be thought of as a Challenge car for the road. In total, the Challenge Stradale is up to 110 kg lighter than the standard Modena, if all the lightweight options are specified such as no radio, lexan side windows and fabric cloth. The car also comes with optional carbon racing seats which are noticeable from the outside to complement the interior detailing.
If you used to the Elite range of Hot Wheels Models then the Foundation models are a bit of a let down. Not that this model is not nice but it's not as nice as the Elite's. I bought it on a auction and the price was very good but unfortunately it was not in a box and dust covered. Still a nice car.
What I love about this car: That white stripe.

Hot Wheels Ferrari 458 Spider
The spectacular Ferrari 458 Spider was officially revealed in Maranello in early September, but made its public debut at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show. With its high standard of build quality along with exceptional performance, it is the first-ever mid-engine supercar with a fully retractable hardtop. The rear wheel drive 570-horsepower runs the same highly-strung 4.5-liter V8 engine of 458 Italia.
Truly another stunning model from Hot Wheels, from the detailed design of the wheels right into the cabin.
What I love about this car: The 458 has the curves of a super model.
