Hot Wheels Elite - Ferrari 250 LM

Post by [KRAFTIG] » Sat Feb 07, 2015 2:34 pm

This is my 44th Ferrari, no livery, no race, just street machines. I purchased this on Wednesday this week from Grand Prix Miniatures, it arrived Friday! I'm going to start with the price first, I paid $54.99 +tax, this equates to $62.15CND for this piece. Why the price first, based on the supplied images you're not going to believe how good this model really is. How historically accurate it is to the 1:1 I'll leave that up to Lucky13 ;)

At first glance the paint is absolutely striking! Of course it's Ferrari red. Details inside and out are VERY good. Though panel gaps could be somewhat better. Motor detail is much more than I expected and so is the interior execution. Just wow! The model overall exceeded my expectations, and I honestly can say it is better executed than the LaFerrari. What do I mean, it doesn't have that "toy-like" feel. Do you know what I mean, I think some of you do. Enjoy the pics!

Never thought these were any good, but this looks damn good. Great price too.

Damn, this DOES look good, although for some reason the car doesn't do much for me.

I have the old pre-Elite version & the blue Elite racer. Love the styling on these & the upgrades in the Elite are very nice.

Love this model, even though the mold is ancient.
