Bigger pictures.

This one looks good. Almost worth the 70 bucks on eBay. Good carbon fiber. One of the first Hotwheels not to use painted taillights! Yeh!
Rims are way too big I think.

Do you think this one will last long on eBay? I mean the 599 was good too, and that didn't last long. I think they made a very very limited number of them. Unlike the Enzo which seemed greatly produced.

I can't get over the rubber band-thin front tires on this. Either Hot Wheels makes the tires too think or too thin!

I know seriously. What's their deal?

It's the pic of the front where you can see the interior that gets me. If that's what the seats look like, chances are the rest of the model will be very nice too. mg

Those seats are pretty good. The carbon fiber mesh thing in the back is also very good!

What's with the badges in the front and back. They're missing from the model! Also why is the window half up?

Is BBR making a MC12 that's white and blue?

 

[Guest]

there is one flaw not mentioned, the right "red little light" (top of the 3 light cluster) is supposed to be a reverse light

You're right! It's more black in pictures....
I hope Hot Wheels fixes this.

The major problem for me are the badges. Some of the badges are missing from the front and rear.

And the wheels are a bit off.

I wish they would stop painting those thick black rings over the gas cap. Are the trailing edges of the stabilizers really suppose to be that thick? :dizzy

The front tires ARE pretty thin on the 1:1 though, but the rims are noticeably larger in scale than on the real thing.

Yeah, I see where the reverse light is supposed to be. Bummer.

Lol. It would be nice if they just made the indent deeper.

The tires are a huge problem, it's way too thin.

The regular version of the MC12 had a LOT of plastic!!! I hope they put more metal in this one. But i doubt it.

Geez I hope BBR make a MC12 in blue and white.

No badge for the back, the windows are half up, we can even see that for their 599 Fiorano... Cannot understand, may be the material used for closed side windows are more costly, so with these soft materials, they can only make them half up.

I just saw a regular Hot Wheels version go on eBay for $52.00! How is this possible? Were these normal versions LE with short runs?

As for as licensing goes, do Maserati models fall under the Ferrari umbrella? Can anyone else manufacture these models aside from Mattle?

:feedback

 

[Superleggera]

I know in the past both Maisto and Bburago have made 1:18 Maserati 3200s and 4200s and Minichamps recently made the 1:18 Ghibli, so it's not just Hot Wheels.

That's how Hot Wheels saves money. They spend half on the windows doing that!

I sold two MC12's for 127 and 117 dollars. But after I sold the MC12, they became a little bit more common and the price dropped a lot. But yes they were short runs.

 

[mattdesign]

Any news on the Elite version? I'm not even going to try for the normal version anymore since the price is outrageous for the detail, and the Elite is right around the corner.

Well, I hope it's right around the corner...

I agree the MC12 is one of my favorite cars, as soon as the Elite is out, I'm getting it

Elites like the 166 and 250 GT were supposed to be out in August, but they still have not come out yet. So expect it around January?

I guess Mattel is taking lessons from Autoart :giggle

Can we dare to hope for an FIA GT version? :zoom
