What is the best 1:18 Hotwheels Elite?

I can only comment on what I own and personally I think that the 2009 Ferrari California is the nicest out of the 5 Elites that I own so far. I'm also planing on getting the new Elite Dino, Modena, and 410 SuperAmerica.

2009 Ferrari California

 

I have the:
White/blue Maserati MC12
Yellow Enzo
Blue 250 Berlinetta Lusso
Black 575 GTZ Zagato
Burgundy 599 GTB Foriano
Red F333 SP
Two-tone blue FXX

I would say the best is the black 575 GTZ, and then the two-tone FXX. Some pics:

I like the yellow enzo and the FXX as well, but the california really does it for me. I dont really like the MC-12, but thats prob just because I dont really like it in real life. Its like the fat ugly cousin of the enzo. Like jessica simpson vs. Ashley simpson. Janet Jackson vs. Michael. you get the idea...

 

Can I answer none? IMO the Elite's are a waste of money. I have two, the 599 and it has horrible truck like tires, and the F430 which has what looks to be 22" wheels.

 

Waste of money compared to what 'though? If you want a 430 or most other modern F-cars what other choice is there? The regular Hot Wheels releases are awful and the BBRs are too expensive. No good wishing that AA could do them for $80 'cause it just isn't going to happen.
This gets debated to death on the 1:18 model forums and really seems to upset some people.

 

Not in order...

1. Yellow Enzo
2. 612 (china cars)
3. The Schumi F1's
4. 430 CH cars B. Senna
5. GTO yellow or red.
6. The red 599
7. 430 black

 

I like the 125S a lot...

 

The 125 S definitely... it's just like a Kyosho model, besides the dog legs.

 

I really like the 430 CH cars too...the Senna is definitely the best of them!

Is this the one with red interior?

 

+1

Haven't had the pleasure of seeing one in person but it looks amazing in photos!

 

The Mattel store is way overstocked with them (Super Elite version) but not worth $200, I'll wait until they drop lower than $50.

 

Thanks for the update!

 

410 Superamerica
125S
575 SA
Scuderia

The best cars but the 410 SA is very very good !!

 

The door hinges!

 

I like the 430 CH series - I have about 4 of them. Not thrilled about the Senna - prefer the Shelton and the Coca Cola cars. The one with the bull's nose ring on the bonnet I could do without - maybe I'll strip that one and redo it in another livery.

 

Yup

 

I have that Ange Barde car and I like it the bull nose on the hood, it has a terrible outline around it on the real cars logo so I don't mind it on the diecast.

 

I don't really see the bull when it is in the display case so I suppose I could live with it until decals for another livery come along.

 

My favorites:

333 SP Olive Garden - Team Risi
365 GTB/4
FXX Evoluzione
430 Challenge

 

I think that the best 1/18 Elite, is the 125 S, or Mondial,...

and the worst is ,without Doubts, the 360 Modena

 

hi
i think the 410sa is one of better ones,come,s in two versions two tone silver/black and met black.
also any of the fxx evo version is good.also the 430ch series bruno senna is excellent.
