REVIEW: Kyosho Rolls-Royce Ghost

Words and photos courtesy of JS Coleman Rolls-Royce. Ever since the Spirit of Ecstasy first adorned the legendary ‘Silver Ghost’ in 1911, the superlative marque has captured minds and hearts like none other. Year after year, decade after decade, nothing summarized excellence better than ‘Rolls-Royce’ – so much so that the name became an adjective, indicating perfection in any Continue Reading...

Kyosho New 1:12 Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe Series II

News from Kyosho’s camp is the new 2015 Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe Series II. This 1:12 scale majestic piece will definitely have shelf presence. Kyosho does promise a new standard in precision and extended detail, and from what we gather form the photos it sure makes us a believer. They even added the luxury of a luggage set and Continue Reading...

REVIEW: Kyosho Ferrari 365 GTB/4 1977 Daytona 24H ‘Hi-End’

Words and photos courtesy of Wes Shakirov / StratosWRC The Kyosho Ferrari 365 is a well-known and admired model. Almost everyone has at least one in their collection, whether plain-bodied or liveried. I originally had the #39 race version in Blue/White/Red, but sold it recently and bought this instead. I’m sure you’ll agree with me that this one is Continue Reading...

REVIEW: Kyosho Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé

Words and photos courtesy of Karsten Weiss After VW had snatched the Crewe Factory, the rights to the iconic radiator shell, “Spirit of Ecstasy” mascot and the shape of the Arnage/Silver Seraph vehicles in a last minute bid from BMW, Rolls Royce started its new life with BMW with nothing but its name, which VW had forgotten to buy. Continue Reading...

REVIEW: Kyosho Bentley Flying Spur W12

When it comes to 12 cylinder engines, 600 plus hp, 550 plus ft lbs of torque, and 200mph top speed, you don’t automatically think ‘luxury sedan’. Well these numbers I echo are of the last generation Bentley Flying Spur W12. The team at Kyosho announced this model back in December 2013. Two colours would be released – Onyx (Black) and Peacock Continue Reading...

REVIEW: Kyosho Lamborghini Miura Jota SVJ

The Lamborghini Miura is an icon in automotive history, a car considered by some to be the sexiest ever made. Kyosho’s latest effort with the Lamborghini badge is the Miura Jota SVJ. Based on past Kyosho efforts with the Lamborghini brand, one would assume we have another work of art, which is unfortunately not the case here. The model lacks Continue Reading...

REVIEW: Kyosho Rolls Royce Phantom (EWB)

Words and photos courtesy of Ravi/diecast After a really long wait Kyosho released their most anticipated model of the year, the Rolls Royce Phantom Extend Wheel Base (EWB). This model happens to be the second of two estate luxury offering, the first being the hugely successful Kyosho 1:18 Rolls Royce Ghost. Kyosho released the Phantom in white and black Continue Reading...

REVIEW: Kyosho De Tomaso Pantera L

Until the announcement from Kyosho back in late 2012 that a 1:18 scale, fully detailed De Tomaso Pantera would finally see light, the only option for collectors was the less than stellar Hot Wheels representation. Nothing against the Hot Wheels effort, but I personally hate chrome and, add the chrome wheels, I could never bring myself to purchase one. Well Continue Reading...
