Hot Wheels Elite 1:18 Ferrari 348 TS: Top This

Around 8,500 Ferrari 348s were produced between 1989 and 1995 – a pretty serious number by Ferrari standards – and both the car, and Ferrari itself, went through a few changes during that time.

Along Came a Spyder: Hot Wheels Elite’s 1:43 458 Italia

Hot Wheels Elite 2012 Ferrari 458 Italia Spyder 1:43 | $44.99 Ferrari needed two years to develop a topless version of their 458 Italia, but fortunately for those of us who can’t afford a copy of the $257,000.00 car (magnificent though it may be), Hot Wheels Elite has created this beautifully made diecast model in […]

Bonus Photos! Tamiya 1:12 Ferrari 288 GTO

When space becomes the final frontier – which it always does at deadline time – we have to pick the photos we’ll be using in print. It’s never easy, and it always means that a bunch of snaps get left on our virtual cutting room floor. That’s a shame, because the photos are already-processed, nicely […]

Hot Wheels Elite 1:43 Ferrari 250GT SWBs: Power Trio

Mattel knows a thing or two about manufacturing might; the toy giant has long been a model for concept-to-consumer planning in the hobby and games segment, with licensing, delivery, and market awareness playing into its every move.
