1962 Mercedes Benz 220 SE Matchbox 1:64










The Mercedes-Benz W111 was a chassis code given to a range of Mercedes-Benz vehicles produced between 1959 and 1971, including four-door saloons (1959-1968) and two-door coupés and cabriolets (1961 to 1971). Their bodywork featured distinctive tailfins that gave the models their Heckflosse nickname — German for "fintail".

Introduced with a 2.2-litre inline 6-cylinder engine, the W111 spawned a pair of variant lines which bracketed it in 1961: downscale entry-level inline 4-cylinder engined vehicles sharing the W111 chassis and bodies, designated the W110; and the W112, a high-end luxury saloon built on the W111 chassis with its body but exclusive features, elaborate appointments, and the Mercedes-Benz 300d Adenauer's fuel-injected 3-litre M189 six-cylinder engine – at the time the company's largest.

Somewhat confusingly, both the W111 and W112 lines included vehicles with different Paul Bracq-designed bodywork, the 2-door coupé and cabriolet.

2015 Ferrari 488 GTB Maisto 1:18










The Ferrari 488 (Type F142M) is a mid-engine sports car produced by the Italian automobile manufacturer Ferrari. The car replaced the 458, being the first mid-engine Ferrari to use a turbocharged V8 since the F40. It was succeeded by the Ferrari F8.

The car is powered by a 3.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, smaller in displacement but generating a higher power output than the 458's naturally aspirated engine. The 488 GTB was named "The Supercar of the Year 2015" by car magazine Top Gear, as well as becoming Motor Trend's 2017 "Best Driver's Car". Jeremy Clarkson announced the 488 Pista as his 2019 Supercar of the Year. The 488 was succeeded by the F8 Tributo in February 2019.

2016 Subaru WRX STI Fast & Furious Jada 1:24










The Subaru Impreza (Japanese: スバル・インプレッサ, Hepburn: Subaru Inpuressa) is a compact car that has been manufactured by Subaru since 1992. It was introduced as a replacement for the Leone, with the predecessor's EA series engines replaced by the new EJ series. It is now in its fifth generation.

Subaru has offered 4-door sedan and 5-door body variants since 1992. The firm also offered a coupe from 1995 until 2001, and a 5-door wagon from the Impreza's introduction in the form of a hatchback. Mainstream versions have received "boxer" flat-four engines ranging from 1.5- to 2.5-liters, with the performance-oriented Impreza WRX and WRX STI models uprated with the addition of turbochargers. Since the third generation series, some markets have adopted the abbreviated Subaru WRX name for these high-performance variants. The first three generations of Impreza were also available with an off-road appearance package called the Outback Sport, exclusive to the North American market. For the fourth generation, this appearance package was renamed the XV (Crosstrek in North America), and is sold internationally. Colloquially, the car is sometimes referred to as Scooby.

Subaru has offered both front- and all-wheel drive layouts for the Impreza. Since the late-1990s, some markets have restricted sales to the all-wheel drive model—therefore granting the Impreza a unique selling proposition in the global compact class characterized by front-wheel drive. However, Japanese models remain available in either configuration.

A 2019 iSeeCars study named the Impreza as the lowest-depreciating sedan in the United States after five years.

1964 Renault R8 Gordini 1:24 Welly












El Renault 8 (Renault R8 hasta 1964) es un automóvil del segmento C producido por la fábrica francesa Renault durante la década de 1960 y principios de la década de 1970. El 8 fue lanzado al mercado en 19621​ manteniéndose en producción en Francia hasta 1971, en Bulgaria (Bulgarrenault) hasta 1970, y en España hasta 1976. En Rumania, el R8 fue producido bajo licencia entre 1968 y 1971 con el nombre de Dacia 1100.

El diseño del 8 se asemeja al Alfa Romeo tipo 103 (1960), debido a que Alfa Romeo y Renault mantuvieron una relación comercial en las décadas de 1950 y 1960.​ Renault fabricó en esa época vehículos Alfa Romeo y Alfa Romeo fabricó en Italia el Renault Dauphine (1959-1964),​ el Renault Ondine (1961-1962) y el R4 (1962-1964).

El R8 (modelo R1130) apareció en julio de 1962 como sucesor del Renault Dauphine. Lo más notable del automóvil era el empleo de frenos de disco en las ruedas delanteras, una característica inédita hasta entonces para vehículos de su tamaño que utilizaban cuatro frenos de tambor. Tenía un motor de 956 c.c. con 44 caballos de potencia.
