The engine bay opens on special gas struts to reveal the awesome miniature V-12.

And it costs about 2.7 lac Rs before duties and shipping! The ultimate scale model car for sure but like the real car, only a few can afford this. Btw I don't own this

Enjoy the pics!

WOW! Is it an officially licensed model?

Wow Khanak, awesome beauties! The 5th pic with the 2 rear ends looks classy!

Spitfire · 15th June 2009, 17:25

Beautiful. Can we have some below the bonnet and interior pics too.

That Mondo Motors GT is a great car. I Amost ordered it, but then settled for the Fast and Furious SUPRA

WOW!!! khanak the cars are awesome and real nice photography. (specially the 2nd & 4th ones.)

khanak · 16th June 2009, 00:51

I experimented a bit with some "night pictures". I wanted to get something similar to if they were to be photographed out on the street at night under the streetlights. I'm not too sure how the pictures finally came out but I'm posting them anyways.

The Granturismo is a beautfiul car but to be honest Mondo Motors still isn't upto the mark. I especially didn't like the wheels and the half open windows on the Granturismo. Quality is Maisto level if not worse. I guess you made the right deciscion with the Supra.

Found this F430 scale model in the shell petrol bunk. Pity the F1-2005 model is sold as part of the set. Still worth it for Rs 100!

Cyrus43 · 16th June 2009, 11:26

I have all 6 of the Ferrari Shell cars. The F12005 is sold as a single unit as far as I know. Did the petrol bunk you buy it from have that stand for sale? The one with all 6 cars together with that plastic cover.

Its quite surprising. They dont sell F1-2005 model as a single piece in Shell bunks in Bangalore. I have been to just one of them in double road. I am not sure if its the same everywhere. Every other car in the 6 car collection is available as a single piece. For the F1 car, looks like I need to buy the entire set. So I gave up

Hi all,
Hotwheels has also launched limited edition Ferrari collection which includes total 5 cars.
Will let you know which cars are there in this pack.
Cheers,

Here are two unique models, a 1936 Bugatti Atlantic and a Chrysler Atlantic Concept. I have posted both cars together for styling comparison.
Both cars are 1:24 by Bburago.
