Well I've been trying to catch up on a few Ferraris from the Hot Wheels Elite brand before they become extinct. The latest entry, and Ferrari number 45 is the F355 Spider in Red. The model is definitely nice, very well executed on many levels. Makes me think why I spent the extra coin on the Kyosho F355. Shutlines are nice, head light operation is good, and interior detail is above average. The only challenge was opening the rear hatch to access the motor. The bulk section of the Spider's retractable top is slightly in the path of the hatch . Nonetheless a solid piece for any Ferrari collection. Enjoy the pics!

Not my cup of tea, but I like the pics. Particularly the rear three quarters/slightly from above pic.

Finally got around to getting one of these, as they're languishing on shelves for some reason so I got it for a steal. IRL the spider is about 50/50 with the berlinetta with owners, more so then most other Ferraris. I think the model is quite good, and Hot Wheels Elite's pictures of it really bring it down. Even in these excellent pics, it still doesn't look as good as it does in person. I actually think it's better then the coupe. I was going to undertake the process of painting the interior tan, but the paintwork in the black interior is excellent as is. Other then some fender badges I think i'm leaving it as is, it's really an underappreciated model.

Absolutely agree. I wish I can get Hot Wheels Elite quality today at their pricing, they were terrific, and this one is going to a steal as you mentioned. Maybe I'll take some new photos with the new gear
