Yes, I was looking for it but ebay prices were raising (160-180€). So I'm happy with a price of 80 €!

Nice additions in your collection, I see, with the AM DB11 and Prior AMG GT. You'll not be disappointed, both are beautiful !

I really like the quality of the Top Speed models! And the coming models are awesome !

The 80 Euro price tag is fair.

I got the AM yesterday, so photos and reviews to come. I do love their direction as of late too.

Me too, I've 9 preorders for the moment. The future Pagani's and AM's (especially the Zagato) are promising

My English is not good enough to write reviews but the models I have are awesome : McLaren 570S, McLaren 675LT, Jaguar F-Type Coupé, Ford GT and AM DB11

LOL I'm up to 7; now minus the DB11

AUTOart announced the McLarens so I'm waiting for them

Bad news, the gold status on GT Spirit website is now -10% (-20% before) and silver status -5% (-10% before). They will explain why in the newsletter next monday

They better have good reasons. They didn't do well for the past few months...
Anyway, I decided to gift myself something special.



Blue was the way to go in my book.

You won't regret the purchase. The model is the epitome of what collecting is all about.

AGU is a relatively newcomer to the scale model game, so these will be interesting to review!

"AGU", never heard of them. Tell me more?

AGU's a Chinese based model company that focuses on resin models. They've made a few variants of the 458 Liberty Walk. Unlike regular resins, what makes AGU stand out are that the headlights are luminescent when you shine light into them! There's also the fact that all AGU models feature steerable wheels, which almost never happens with resin models

I see. Please complete a detail review if possible, and thanks for the info. Do they have a website or FB page?

AGU seems related with GT Spirit but not sure how. The first 458 LB they did was a repaint in white of the original red version sold by GTS (that quickly disappeared from GTS website because they had no licensing). Then they retooled the 458 LB and added steering wheels. Looks like they have no website and they are sold only in China through Carloverdiecast.

It seems a connection is possible. I'm sure the factories in China are a stones throw from each other.

If every resin model had steerable front wheels, I would collect them. That's a huge part of the reason why I like diecast better.
