Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Hot Wheels Elite Ferrari F50 – Red: This timeless, 1:18 scale Ferrari is one of a variety of collectible vehicles approved by Ferrari for authentic styling and decoration. Beautifully crafted and highly detailed, this car makes a great collectible or gift for any auto enthusiast. Actual Car Information: Designed to commemorate Ferrari's 50th anniversary in 1997, the Ferrari F50 is an F1 car dressed as a road car. Low-slung, with huge forward air intakes, it boasts sleek lines that sweep gracefully up to the rear airfoil and aerodynamically slope behind both seats, following Formula 1 engineering principles. The tub is the central part of the car’s structure and is made entirely of lightweight carbon composites and adhesive materials. The centrally mounted engine acts as a support for the rear suspension and for the carbon-fiber bodywork. The 12-cylinder, 4.75 liter, rear-mounted engine slams out 520 horsepower, propelling the car from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 3.87 seconds and taking the carbon-fiber body to a top speed of 325 Km/h. Only 349 cars were made, one fewer than Ferrari estimated they could sell. The last F50 was produced in July 1997. Don’t miss this unique piece in 1:18th scale! Limited edition Ferrari die-cast approved by Ferrari

Suggest all READ before they purchase this Ferrari F50. The Descriptions for this Ferrari F50 from this vendor bounce between 1:18 scale and 1:43 scale.
In the "Product Features" section it states "Timeless 1:18 scale Ferrari".
In the "Product Description" section it states "1:43 Elite Ferrari".
And if you read the "Customer Review" from "darkbond" he was under the impression from the ad it was also 1:18 !
NOT, it was 1:43.
I almost ordered it, but had the good sense to read the customer review first.
Thank you, Amazon customers.

This model is a nice finely detailed model of the Ferrari F50. However I was under the impression that it was a 1:18 scale model because that is what's listed under the product description but it is actually a 1:43 scale model, not really worth the $30 I paid or what I was looking for in the first place. Good product, crappy product description and it took over a week to get to me. If someone wants it I would be happy to ship it to them for half the cost I paid.
