Ferrari F40 vs Ferrari F40: Which model maker goes to the top? 

Thanks for the comparison! I currently have the Hot Wheels Elite version and am thinking about getting the Kyosho F40 Lightweight edition. Another huge "discrepancy" with the Hot Wheels version is the rear spoiler. The rear spoiler on the Hot Wheels version is a separate piece from the rear hatch - so when you look from the side, it looks like a black trim. The Kyosho is accurate. The only reason I got the Hot Wheels version is because I got it for $60 with shipping - vs. Kyosho's ~$110 price.

Nice review there. I have superdetailed one of my standard Hotwheels versions to look like yours. The Hotwheels one is a lovely model. Have to correct you though, this is not a 1991 model. The first few 1987/88 models had Lexan sliding side windows. Accordingly, they had the hollowed out red door internals as there was no requirement to add a cavity for the window to slide into.

Great review Kennan!

Just a FYI: the fans in the front don't suck the car towards the ground :P They're just to cool the engine, or the brakes, or something rather. You're probably thinking of either the Chaparral 2J, Brabham BT46 or the fictional Red Bull X2010/X2014,

Funny dude he has his watch outside the gloves...lol

i have the Kyosho F40 but it's the Lightweight version! It is a great model with the excellent but then it has a major drawback: its build quality. the paint isn't applied on well (has bubbles and the edges get scraped off), one of the wheels won't spin freely, and the gear shifter, front spoiler, the right door and the button for the flip-up lights are not put on well... but other than that, it has great features! adjustable seats, full suspension, and workable flip-up lights! hope this helps!

I watch car reviews all the time but never thought about scale model reviews. As i was watching though i took out my bburago 1/18 F40 and realize how much nicer yours were to mine.

@NickJ95GB Hey, the steering wheel is correct, it's the emblem that's not quite right. It isn't as well proportioned as the Kyosho model. That's what I meant. But, it's off by such a small size, it really doesn't matter. I like both models. Thanks for the comment.

@IwantaLexusLFA I do prefer Kyosho to Hot Wheels Elite, however Hot Wheels has such a great variety of cars, it's near impossible not to incorporate them into a collection. I believe that the models that HW Elite produces now are far superior to their models of four years ago, but I do still have a preference for Kyosho. Thanks for the comment!

Very nice comparison, Kennan!

Nice choice, I love the Kyosho, great model.

@NickJ95GB It's truly a supercar; it can still keep up today! The F40 is one of my personal favorite cars ever created.

@violian5 I had the same problem, but the Kyosho is worth every penny. I absolutely love it; it's one of the staples in my collection.

@thefastesrcman It has taken someone a year to catch that. Haha, I remember making that error and thinking, "Oh crap," but I didn't want to re-shoot the whole thing, so I left it in. You get what I was trying to say in comparison to the HotWheels Elite, though. Thanks for watching and the comment!

Haha, thanks! I was inspired by some SaabKyle04 reviews I saw, and since I don't yet own a real Ferrari, I thought this would be a decent start. :-)

13:45 "this will run in the $100 range and it will hold its value unlike the hot wheels which will disintegrate its already in the $75 price range" LOLOL today these red 1/18 Ferrari F40s by Kyosho are selling for €350 and more. And the Hot Wheels Elite F40 in red (if it is even on sale) is in the €250 range. Nuts. Absolutely nuts.

@TheMax478 That's a great collection! I collect 1:18 models strictly. I have most production models from 1962-2010. I haven't bought any in a while so maybe it's time to get some more! :-)

@SkateborderX12 It's the normal version, yes? Not the elite model; I learned that if you are going to buy Hot Wheels, always go Elite. The details in the Elite models are much better than the normal models. Next time, buy Elite and I think you'll be happy. :-)

Once opened, the side doors to the HWE one, wobble a bit? When I unboxed my HWE yellow version one, the right door fell off!

thx

@CaptainVladS14 Sorry I am no mechanic, I leave that to my cousins. The fan was mixed up with the Ferrari F50, which I believe if you reference Jeremy Clarkson's review of the car from the late 1990's, you will see that those fans do actually suck the car to the road to increase grip to better channel the car's massive power. Frankly, I don't care what makes the car go, I'll just pay the bills and drive it someday. I'll leave the mechanics of the car to the trained technicians at Ferrari.

Nice ferrari gloves

Which would you recommend? Bburago or Hotwheels (not elite)?

Your Kyosho F40 is pretty much ruined! Got 4, as well as the Elite and the Elite F40 LM btw! Love them all.

i like the hw elite one

2:05 are you talking about the radiator fans?

kyosho 250 gto vs hot wheels 250 gto

wtf is you runforthecube's brother?

ya done good!

lmao 9 years and the price goes up to 200~300

Haha, you've got to start somewhere.

i like your glooves

@thefastesrcman I just sent you a message through RU-vid that should help. :-)

I have already, right after you subscribed to me. In fact, I subscribed back.

While I like this review, you seem to lack any real car knowledge.... That "pump," is the brake master cylinder.... Also, that "fan," does nothing in the way of "sucking the car down to the road."
