absolutely!

Love this colorful lineup. I passed on the "LW"...the original is enough for me. Though it does look totally sinister in black.

It's still on my wish list, but I'm waiting for someone to make a decent racing version. I'll probably get the street version eventually anyway.

I got that Elite 348 & am thrilled with it. The 348 is my least favorite of that line (308-458), but the model is outstanding. I'd be 100% happy if Hot Wheels Elite (or any maker, actually) cranked out all their models at this level.

Mattel really have got their act well and truly together with their Elite range of Ferraris! As has been mentioned before, they offer great bang for buck.

Impressive collection of Ferraris. :okay:

I have this one as well....& mine is missing the turn signals, just like yours. :rockon:

I got it right when it came out...I thought at the time it was one of Maisto's better models.

this is one instance where I don't like Hot Wheels Elite's half-up windows (normally doesn't bother me at all)...just looks strange with the Targa top removed, In my opinion.

Still...a great looking model. I passed, as I have the tb.

So other that the T-roof what's the difference from the hard-top? TIA

The Coupe is still my favorite 348. Great pictures!

the 348 isn't my favorite Ferrari, but it does look incredible as a Spyder. I am surprised that Hot Wheels Elite didn't do one, but am really looking forward to seeing yours.

always liked UT's F355. I had the Spyder, but sold it (& the HWF F355 F1) when I got the Hot Wheels Elite F355.

love the GTS...that's the bodystyle I always wanted. Wish Hot Wheels Elite had done that.

I've had the UT Spider, HWF F1 Berlinetta & the Hot Wheels Elite Berlinetta. Totally agree with you that the Hot Wheels Elite is by far the best, especially when factoring in price.

Love that UT GTS with the Sport seats. I wish Hot Wheels Elite had done that one too.
