TopSpeed Models New Skins: 1:18 McLaren 675LT & Ford GT 2015

TopSpeed Models gives us a new colour for the McLaren and Ford GT.  The McLaren 675LT is presented in Chicane,  one word, STUNNING!  It flows perfectly with Orange calipers and matching interior seats.  The Ford GT steps up with Silver exterior and racing stripe decals.  Another beautiful example based on the initial colour of Liquid Blue.  Both are due this June.  Each is limited to 999 pieces.  Let’s hope the images presented are not all smoke and mirrors, as their first release, the 1:18 Acura NSX 2015 is receiving some mediocre reviews.

About the McLaren 675LT…  “Announced at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, the 675LT is Lightweight evolution of the 650S and is powered by a variation of the M838T twin turbo V8 petrol engine, producing 675PS. The ‘675’ in the 675LT model name refers to the power output of 675 PS, following the nomenclature started by the McLaren 650S. The LT in the model name is a reference to the “Long Tail” 1997 McLaren F1 GT which was the final incarnation of the F1 road car built to comply with FIA homologation regulations for the 1997 F1 GTR. The 675LT makes use of single-piece carbon fiber monocell weighing 75 kg (165 lb), and carbon fiber use in the vehicle is increased in order to further minimize weight and increase rigidity. Top Speed Model has done extensive research with McLaren to produce a very detailed and astatically accurate model. This detailed 675LT model will be produced with the Chicane color exterior and a black and orange interior. ”

    It’s a bit hard to get excited about “new” colors when they haven’t gotten the first colors to market yet. They keep bumping back the release date. The Ford GT in blue is now showing April on the TopSpeed website.

    I have the Acura NSX and am very happy with it. I know some people are all bent out of shape about the solid grills & vents. I’m not so fixated on that. After all, this is a sub $150 model, and sitting on a shelf in my case it hardly detracts from the model. Some get so fixated on every little detail that you’d think they would expect that if they could shrink themselves down to 1:18 scale, they could get in the model, start it up and drive around.

      lol, when I first started collecting 1/18 models at 7 I always wished there was a machine to scale up the models so I could drive them lol… obliviously they wouldn’t run :)
