CASTLINE M2 Machines Detroit Muscle

Nothing looks as sweet on the street as a black and flamed muscle car or truck. It is as vivid as a car gets, especially under the cruise-night lights. The 14th release of Castline’s M2 Machines Detroit Muscle shows off six flexed beauties in black with fire-breathing attitude. The ’70 Ford Mustang Mach 1 rumbles a 428 Cobra Jet engine with hollow […]

AUTOART 1971 Alfa Romeo GT Am

In 1971, at the peak of the American Muscle Car era, European performance enthusiasts were very much into the science of small-engine technology. European racing was vastly different from the New World order of drag and stock car racing. Formula 1 Rally and road racing were the big interests. In the wild world of road racing, Alfa Romeo was […]

AUTOART Porsche 911 Carrera & 944 Turbo

Like a light in the darkness, Porsche offered a pure-breed line of obtainable sports cars in an otherwise low-performance era. The flagship of the brand was the 911 Carrera. Engineered with a precise suspension that evolved over years of development, handling was as good as a late 1980s street car could offer. The 214hp, fuel-injected flatsix delivered predictable power. […]

GMP Ferrari 412P

Imagine being able to stroll into the Ferrari headquarters and ask for a customized version of the famous 330 P3. That’s just what the 412P was, a “customer ordered” version of the prototype racing machine. These cars, with Weber carburetion in place of the Lucas fuel-injection system, were pure raging race cars that helped bring the Ferrari name […]

FUJIMI 1979 Ferrari 312T4

When you put a car such as the Ferrari 312T4 in the hands of an amazing driver like Jody Scheckter, good things are going to happen. So it was in 1979 as the combination resulted in a Formula 1 championship. The same can be expected when you take one of the world’s premier scale replica makers and match […]

Pagani Zonda R by AUTOart

I have just added the most amazing 1:18 model to my collection: The Pagani Zonda R by AUTOart ! This is a car that in 1:1 surely establishes a high water mark for visual impact, performance, expense and sheer impracticality ! In 1:18 scale it is nothing but a stunning testimony of how really great AUTOart can […]

MAISTO 55 Series

Some collect by size, some by make or model, and others simply by attitude. Maisto’s new 55s line offers a little of all of the above. The new 1:55 scale is definitely out of the ordinary. So is the departure from being exact to the original car’s shape and design. These are cars and trucks with a slightly animated quality. And […]

NOREV 2008 Chevrolet Lacetti WTCC

Two things come to mind when the words Chevrolet and racing are combined—V8 power and NASCAR. The two most unlikely words for a racing Chevy are small and touring car. Yet, here’s a successful example of the latter. Norev’s 1:43-scale little Chevrolet Lacetti was campaigned by Alain Menu in the WTCC series. The compact racer is a very intriguing diecast with its tri-tone paint […]

AUTOMODELLO Bricklin SV1

The cottage sports car industry has brought us many notable creations such as the Cobra, DeLorean, Griffith and Vector. One lesser known was the Canadian-built Bricklin. This was a gull-winged coupe powered by an AMC 360cid V-8. Later, Malcolm Bricklin converted to Ford 351cid Windsor V-8s. Manx dune buggy creator Bruce Meyers built the concept car. Automodello is quickly becoming […]
