I think it's new. The Jody Scheckter one looked attractive to me. How come you think it's an ancient model?

Is this new or some ancient effort from deep in the depths of the archive?

That's almost a Exoto! Put the driver figure holding a 1:18 umbrella, and bob's yer uncle!

I am wondering if it is too little, too late with the older F1 car announcements. Most of the newer collectors would have been born post 2005. How many would want a 44 year old race car.

It's not unusual for them to dig something out of the crypts and shine it up a little bit!

@slartibartfast229 I don't remember Bburago doing anything other than some cheap looking 80s/90s F1 cars until they got their current Ferrari licence. And as far as I remember they were only in 1:24. This looks a mile better than those cars.

What about the non signatures Ferrari 812 Competizione? any news?

Well, I'm interested 😬
I'm even becoming more interested in cars that were released decades before I was born.

I think sometime in the early 80s Bburago did make some of the 70s F1 cars but in 1:12 scale or something similar. So this one's new for them. Whether its someone else's casting that they've polished up I don't know

Saw this posted on facebook. Looks to be Viola Parsifae. Glad to see some riskier colors from Bburago

Bronze Bugatti Mistral spotted in exclusive style Sam’s club box! (Seems to be in Colorado and California)
It’s only May second and it seems some Sam’s clubs already have them. Has anyone spotted them yet?

 

[subbuamada]

They give side windows for the mistral which is USD $20~30. But on the F12 Competizione which is signature there are no side windows. Weird.

The yellow one I got from the last mix of sam’s club doesn’t have side windows. I think only the Chinese versions come with the side windows. But I have seen no version of the 812 with side windows which sucks.

Anyone know when the Ferrari F80 will be released?

 

[imitenotbecrazy]

First one I've seen listed

That wheels 😲

F80 Bburago - i think it looks really nice for a budget model.

I suppose it's ok, but the solid plastic vents kills it for me.

They don't want to increase the cost by making separate metal mesh pieces, but I'm pretty sure it's possible to devise a simple and cheap solution to perforate the plastic and make the vents look see-thru. But it's BBurago after all...

If I'm to add the F80, then I guess I'll be saving up for the BBR version...

I hope we get lucky and get a Chinese market exclusive version with metal perforated mesh (similar to the Daytona SP3)

@subbuamada: Your timing is perfect: I just spent an hour browsing multiple sites and the 2025 BBurago Ferrari catalog to find their best version of the F80. Note that they are producing the 1/18th F80 models under two separate classes: "Race and Play" - a relatively entry-level version, still with opening features - and the more detailed, collector-oriented "Signature" line, so that's something to consider when making a decision.
