On the surface, the new 1.2 milions pounds Ferrari 599 XX could be one of the greatest four wheeled follies of all time.
This, after all, is a car that will never be raced, can never be driven on the road, and will be produced in such small numbers that you will almost certainly never see one in the flesh; Ferrari will make a maximum of 29 examples a year.
The model comes in a Hotwheels branded box. Inside, the model is fixed by 4 screws.
The exterior of the Hot wheels replica seems to capture the essence of the original well. The overall body lines, panel gaps and shutlines are very good. Paint is consistent throughout and carbon fiber work has a nice rich feel and consistent execution.
The exterior of the car
Ferrari logo and decals are nicely done, but not so impressive.
The logo and decal
The engine on the car is simple and feel like a toy.
The interior is moderately good without any flocking. There are some carbon fiber details to enhance the look. The seat and seat belt are below average. Nothing special here. This Hotwheels car can't compare to Auto Art or Kyosho cars.
The car has every feature you could expect to see on the majestic Ferrari 599. Doors, hood and trunk open. The hood has some weight to it, and the magnets hold everything solidly in its place. The hood, trunk and doors are all plastic.
Steering wheels can drive the front wheels
This Hot Wheels diecast model red 1/18 Ferrari 599 is an average replication. It is very solid, the paint is good, but the detail is not so impressive. With the price of 50 dollars, we can't expect something better from it.
Here is the real car in action:
