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.

Hot Wheels Ferrari 599 XX

The 599 XX is build for a lucky few Ferrari fans that can afford it's more than a million euros price tag. Not legal for public road use it only comes out the garage for track day events. It uses one of Ferrari's most powerful engines, a V12, developing an incredible 540 kW, making it possible to get from 0 to 60 mph in under 3 seconds.

My model is not from the more expensive Elite range but there is nothing wrong with it. Also available is a stunning black mat finish.

What I love about this car: The 599 just looks so mean in the racing clothes.

Hot Wheels Ferrari 550 Barchetta

This model is proof to me that if you want to buy a Ferrari make it red. Nothing wrong with car but it would look so much better in the traditional color of Ferrari. The reason why I have it in black is that I found it for a very nice price on a auction web site :-)

The detail of the Hotwheels model is really amazing, from the detailed engine to the interior. I think that today's model builders have it easy when it comes to the engines because modern cars engine are covered in acres of plastic but on this on you can actual see the spark-plug wires etc.

The 550 was a return for Ferrari in some sense to it's root's, a V12 Grant tourer. The last such Ferrari was the Daytona (I'm excluding the 456 because it has four seats).  The Barchetta was strictly a sunny day car, if you wanted the roof on you had to get out and put it on yourself. Only 448 Barchetta's was made, originally 444 was planned but the number had a bad meaning apparently for the Japanese.

What I love about this car: The quality of interior and that cream looks so good.

Hot Wheels Ferrari 250 GTO

Consider by Sports Car International as the Top Sports Car of All Time the 250 GTO is a legend in the car world. A nice second hand 250 GTO can cost you anything between 10 and 15 million ponds! Only 36 cars where build between 1962 and 1964 to compete in FIA's Group 3 championship.

This car, #24, was driven by Jean Blaton & Gerhard Langlois van Ophem from team Equipe Nationale Belge in the 1963 24 Hours of Le Mans where it came second after 323 laps.

This Hotwheels model I bought from a auction site, must say the 'dirty' look is something to get used to but it does make it looks very authentic :-)

What I love about this car: The sleek long bonnet.

Hot Wheels Ferrari F40

Considered by many to be the best super car ever build, not only by Ferrari but across the board. Ferrari build the F40 to celebrates it's 40th year of car production. It was also the last car Enzo Ferrari was involved with during the production. 

The F40 is not know for it's luxuries, the design is simple, put a powerful V8 with twin turbo's into the lightest body possible. The result is a 1100 kg car that goes like a bat out of hell, making the F40 the first production car to past the 200 mph (320 km/h) mark. 

My model is from Hotwheels, bought it @ a online auction site. Al thou it was suppose to be new the box seal was broken. Lucky the model was in a very good condition. This model represents one of the first 50 F40 because only they where made with the Lexan windows like on mine.

All in all I'm very happy with my first Ferrari except for wishing it's the real thing :-(

What I love about this car: It's the best looking Ferrari ever.
