From the pictures, i find nothing that makes me grab my credit card and buy one immediately.

The Elite series is priced like a Kyosho but is nowhere near as good.

I think I will stay with the regular series.

So they aren't making the FXX in regular series? I didnt know that ...

Anyway as far as i am concerned I have the regular 288 and cant stand the looks of the FXX. The model I would be interested in is the 512BB and Dino.

Now we know that they made the FXX in regular series, but it's very, very ugly

And this F430 elite doesn't look very "elite" the wheels are still too big

Minichamps quality? Hmm, I ordered FXX and Superamerica but I still donīt think they are great. Just a bit better detailed. What I heard, Superamerica is the best Elite version yet. We'll see 8)
And btw I have seen the Ferrari 575 GTC by Kyosho in 1:18 (without decals )but I just hope it wouldnīt be in corporate with BBR because of price :roll:

I think the enzo and fxx elite (the two ones I own) are just below autoart, but it's my opinion
are you sure kyosho will make a 575 GTC ?
it' a good news
I saw severals 575 GTC and others hand made ferrari on a french forum, they cost more than 400€

WHERE? WHERE? WHERE?

BTW - today I've received the plain body version of the DBR9 in AA 1:18 - sealed... so you won't like it - but still supercool!!
Yeah I donīt like it but itīs really a nice car

Why did you buy it since it's sealed?
I don't understand why autoart is sealing all its race cars, and keeping them at the same price
