Hot Wheels Elite Ferrari 458 Spider

Here is one for the car model fans. Hot Wheels Elite presents Ferrari 458 Spider in its GT & Sports Collection. It is in 1:18 scale, Limited Edition. No more than 10,000 pieces are produced. Doors, engine hoods and trunk can be closed and opened. It is a diecast scale model.

The Ferrari 458 series is a new design that is influenced by Ferrari experience in Formula 1. The interior design has input from Formula 1 legend, Michael Schumacher. It can go from 0 - 100 km/hour under 3.4 seconds, with a top speed of 325 km/h.

The spectacular Ferrari 458 Spider was officially revealed in Maranello in early September, but made its public debut at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show. With its high standard of build quality along with exceptional performance, it is the first-ever mid-engine supercar with a fully retractable hardtop. The rear wheel drive 570-horsepower runs the same highly-strung 4.5-liter V8 engine of 458 Italia. The new 458 Spider has a rigid roof made entirely of aluminum, a first for Maranello, and will be on sale in 2012. It’s a unique piece both in reality and in 1:18th scale!
