2000 Chevrolet SSR Concept Maisto 1:24

 

La Chevrolet SSR que en el año 2000 es un modelo concepto pasa a ser un modelo de fabricación para el cunsumidor en el 2004. Muy alta de valor por cierto.

Mucho ruido y pocas nueces:
No hay mejor forma de describir el Chevy SSR 2004 que con este refrán popular. Y es que tanto esmero que sus diseñadores pusieron en él, que se olvidaron de dotarlo adecuadamente para que fuera tan rápido y deportivo como su forma sugería. Para sus conductores era un tipo de coche lento y seguro, que poco se identificaba con la imagen que intentaba vender. Como resultado, solo duró unos meses en el mercado antes de que fuera retirado y catalogado como fracaso. ¡Ouch!

The Fast Gassin Hot Wheels 1:64

From Fandom:
 The Fast Gassin is a Hot Wheels original model designed by John Violette. It is based on a heavy tanker truck. It has eight massive exhausts sticking out above the cab. In 2016 the casting underwent a major casting change: it lost its double rear axle. The side panel was extended.

The casting was retooled again in 2018, with the casting using slightly more metal on the door panel and the interior piece and smokestacks now being made part of the exterior tank.

Of note is that there is a minor error on the 2016 release's card; the first color shows the casting having three axles on the card (despite it only having two). This was corrected for the second release

1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT-500 Johnny Lightning 1:24

El Ford Shelby es un Automóvil deportivo, Muscle car y Pony car variante del Ford Mustang fabricado por Shelby de 1965 a 1968, y de 1969 a 1970 por Ford. Después de la introducción del Ford Mustang de quinta generación en 2005, la placa de identificación de Shelby fue revivida como un nuevo modelo de alto rendimiento, esta vez diseñado y construido por Ford.

Para 1967, el G.T. 350 cargó el K-Code de alto rendimiento 289 con un aluminio 'COBRA' hilvanado. El G.T. 500 fue agregado a la alineación, equipado con un motor V8 "Ford Cobra Serie FE" de 428 plg3, con dos carburadores de cuatro cañones Holley de 600 CFM, sentado sobre un colector de admisión de aluminio de media altura.

Los planes documentados para introducir un año de producción media convertible se archivaron debido a problemas de suministro, producción y financieros que sucedieron tan pronto como los primeros autos comenzaron a llegar a las instalaciones de Shelby en Los Ángeles en septiembre. En octubre de 1966, Ford tomó el control de la ingeniería y la compra.​ A.O. Smith fue golpeado para reparar el accesorio de fibra de vidrio. y problemas de calidad. Seis meses después, en mayo de 1967, se tomó la decisión de terminar la operación de Shelby, con sede en California. El 18 de agosto de 1967, un pequeño personal, junto con los restantes coches de ingeniería, fue enviado a Ionia. El pequeño personal de la recién formada Shelby Automotive, Inc. tuvo sustancialmente menos participación después de este tiempo.

1955 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL Maisto 1:18

From Wikipedia:

The Mercedes-Benz 190 SL (W121) is a two-door luxury roadster produced by Mercedes-Benz between May 1955 and February 1963. Internally referred to as W121 (BII or B2), it was first shown in prototype at the 1954 New York Auto Show, and was available with an optional removable hardtop.

The 190 SL presented an attractive, more affordable alternative to the exclusive Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, sharing its basic styling, engineering, detailing, and fully independent suspension. Both cars had double wishbones in front and swing axles at the rear. Instead of the 300 SL's expensive purpose-built W198 tubular spaceframe, the 190 SL's R121 structure used a shortened unitary floorpan modified from the W121 base saloon.

The 190 SL was powered by a new, slightly oversquare 105 PS (77 kW; 104 hp) Type M121 BII 1.9 L straight-four SOHC engine. Based on the 300 SL's straight six, it had an unchanged 85 mm bore and 4.3 mm reduced 83.6 mm stroke, was fitted with twin-choke dual Solex carburetors, and produced gross 120 hp (89 kW; 122 PS). In detuned form, it was later used in the W120 180 and W121 190 models.

The car was available either as a soft-top convertible (initially priced at DM 16,500/US$3,998) or with removable hardtop (DM 17,650/$4,295). A small third-passenger transverse seat was optional. During its first years the 190 SL was available as a sports-racing model with small perspex windscreen and spartan one-piece leather covered bucket seats and aluminium doors. In 1959, the hardtop's rear window was enlarged.

In 1956, a few six-cylinder prototypes were built for testing. A 190SL with a unique engine, using the 300SL block, squeezed into the engine bay with a one-off mix of Benz-bin parts was entered in the 1956 Alpine Rally, but the costs of production would be prohibitive. Two other prototypes, fitted with fuel injected M180 220SE engines were baptised the W127 / 220SL. In June 1956, Rudi Uhlenhaut and Karl Kling lapped the Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit in the two W127s 25 seconds faster than a regular 190SL. On 12 April 1957, MB's board decided to build the W127, six-cylinder 220SL alongside the 190SL, but production challenges postponed manufacturing until it was overtaken by the 230SL 'Pagoda'.

Both the 190 SL and the 300 SL were replaced by the Mercedes-Benz 230SL in 1963.

2005 Nissan 350Z Maisto 1:24

The Nissan 350Z (known as Nissan Fairlady Z (Z33) in Japan) is a two-door, two-seater sports car that was manufactured by Nissan Motor Corporation from 2002 to 2009 and marks the fifth generation of Nissan's Z-car line. The 350Z entered production in 2002 and was sold and marketed as a 2003 model from August 2002. The first year there was only a coupe, as the roadster did not debut until the following year. Initially, the coupe came in Base, Enthusiast, Performance, Touring and Track versions, while the Roadster was limited to Enthusiast and Touring trim levels. The Track trim came with lightweight wheels and Brembo brakes, but its suspension tuning was the same as all other coupes. The Nissan 350Z was succeeded by the 370Z for the 2009 model year.
