Mattel has dropped an awesome set of Ferrari Hot Wheels die-cast models, which includes the Ferrari 499P Modificata, the Italian brand’s unshackled, track-only dirivative of its double Le Mans-winning Hypercar.
The Modificata is being sold as part of a limited-edition heritage set, which also includes a Ferrari 312 P, paying tribute to the Hot Wheels brand’s first-ever Ferrari model, released back in 1970.
The initial release of models stemming from Hot Wheels and Ferrari’s partnership also includes the Ferrari F50, LaFerrari, F40 Competizione, 365 GTB4 Competizione, 250 GTO (complete with a Fiat 642 RN2 Bartoletti Transporter) and an SF90 Stradale, sold as a 1:64 scale RC car compatible with track sets.
“This collection was developed with all Hot Wheels fans in mind, from true Ferrari connoisseurs to budding automotive enthusiasts, thanks to the attention to detail by our design team,” said Roberto Stanichi, executive vice president of Hot Wheels and head of vehicles & building sets at Mattel.
“From our core die-cast available at retail worldwide to our most premium limited-edition models on Mattel Creations, fans of all ages can now bring a piece of Ferrari home.”
Demand, as expected, is high, as initial pre-orders of the 499P and 312P heritage set are already sold out!
