REVIEW: Hot Wheels Elite 458 Speciale

One of the last Ferrari pieces to arrive from the Hot Wheels Elite team is the Ferrari 458 Speciale. After the lacklustre performance of the LaFerrari, expectations weren’t so high. My order for the 458 Speciale (and LaFerrari) arrived in late March. Based on collector feedback, both models were riddled with quality control issues. To my surprise, the 458 Speciale Continue Reading...

REVIEW: Hot Wheels Elite Fast and Furious Charger

Words and photos courtesy of Wes Shakirov / StratosWRC   If you’re a car guy, you’ve probably watched the original Fast & Furious at least twenty five times, and you probably feel a pang of embarrassment about having enjoyed looking at some of the frankly ridiculous looking machinery covered with awful stickers, and outfitted with boomy mufflers.

REVIEW: Hot Wheels Elite Ferrari Dino 308 GT4

The latest addition is the Ferrari Dino 308 GT4 by Hot Wheel Elite.  I really wasn’t interested in the earlier release of the Elvis Presley car, something about the spoke wheels and the colour just didn’t sit well with me. And it ain’t a Ferrari if it doesn’t come in RED…  The 308 was introduced in the early seventies, was Continue Reading...

REVIEW: Hot Wheels Elite Ferrari 458 Italia Spider

Expectations were high for the 458 Italia Spider after the release of the 458 Coupe back in early 2011. Some considered the Coupe version the model of the year based on execution and value at the price point. Well, I’m happy to say the Hot Wheels team did not disappoint once again. The shutlines lines are very tight, the doors Continue Reading...
