A new Ferrari 288 GTO!  Well there is finally an alternative option other than the highly sought after Hot Wheels Elite version. Though the BBR option is sealed and resin-cast, the price is just as expensive, starting roughly at $355CND.  And this price will only be made available until the end of August.  Only 500 pieces with be issued in the standard and premium model with display case.

About the Ferrari 288 GTO…  “The Ferrari 288 GTO.  Quite simply one of the finest – and most beautiful – supercars ever created…  Strange, this. Wasn’t the GTO just a 308 (very pretty, admittedly) with a few extra curves and slats? In part, yes. And the twin-turbo V8 that would go on to become the heart of the F40, of course. But there was something about the 1984 GTO that seems to transcend even this. It was just so devastatingly good looking – right up there with the Lamborghini Miura in the all-time drool parade.  Short for Gran Turismo Omologato (‘omologato’ being Italian for ‘homologated’), the three letters had appeared on a Ferrari once before, on a model considered by many to be one of the greatest Ferraris of all time: the 
250 GTO. The new GTO clearly had a 
lot to live up to.”
