as much as I'm eager to see at the end of the month what Bburago does with Ferrari, I'm just as eager to see what Hot Wheels Elite does?

Agreed...the exterior looks great for a $20 model. The C7 is also nice. Had my '10 Mustang out this weekend & forgot how nice that is.

I just Hope Bburago re issues the Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale BUT does it right. One of my favourite Ferrari's but man did Hot Wheels Elite @&*% it up.

How could they make such a nice Scuderia but screw up the Challenge Stradale

The Scuderia is a much newer model compared to the Stradale. I used to have a Stradale too. Feels like ancient history now.

also...the Scuderia was made as an Elite first & then the Foundation was made.

The CS was made before the Elite line even came out and then details were added when the Elite line ramped up.

I hear Ya, it's just that somebody has to do this model right. It's to cool of a ferrari not have a model that does it right.

Kyosho should do it, to the same detail that they did there F40

Talked to Derrick at Toronto Motorsports today and he thinks there might be another brand doing the high end line. He says the Signature Maisto or Burago or whatever line is below the level of even Hot Wheels, so someone might fill that gap. Autoart apparently had three meetings with Ferrari but at the end of the day it was too costly for them. But now apparently they had two more meetings, which is an extremely exciting prospect indeed. Then again, this doesn't mean anything. Guess we'll find out in the next few months.

Too much of a rumor! Be still my heart! Just dreaming of an AUTOart 288 GTO or F50... or FXX K to go with my Zonda Revo...

I selfishly hope the Autoart thingy doesnt happen, as that will mean a landslide of nearly identical Ferraris ala the Lambo thing they have been doing for a while now, and ignoring/postponing cars that I find interesting.

I'm happy with a lot of Hot Wheels Elite Ferrais........but some, like the ENZO, Challenge Stradale should be re done.

Plus Hot Wheels Elite missed sooooo many Ferrari road cars and F1 cars that should have been made.

If Auto Art ever did Ferraris then Hot Wheels Elite model would come crashing down in price

Jeez, definitely look toy-like and VERY basic to the eye. Recycled moulds at best!?! :(
