It is hard to tell from the picture what color red that sample is. Based on the plinth the model is shown on, the picture also appears to be 1:43.
The car that was shown at the Geneva Auto Salon was Rosso Scuderia, which is much brighter red than the Rosso Corsa and it is not on the list of colors provided.
Fun fact:
Rosso Scuderia is the color that the F1 team switched to in 1997. The reason was that the regular Ferrari Red (Rosso Corsa) was showing darker on TV. Ferrari spent a lot of time and money to develop a color, which on the TV screens looked like Rosso Corsa does in person. That’s how the Rosso Scuderia was born. The first road car it appeared on was the 360 Challenge Stradale.
Is this F8 a 1:43 scale. If so how much is it ?
