Shameless in its copied wheel design, shameless in its copied casting, shameless in its use of the Ferrari emblem on the packaging and shameless in its Fast & Furious style typeface is this Ferrari 458 Italia by a Chinese toy manufacturer called LR. Part of its Hot Wheels "influenced" range of 1/64 diecasts this little 458 continues where HW stalled due to Mattel losing its Ferrari licensing deal and although naturally this is indeed unlicensed only the lack of any badging gives it away. Quality wise its very much on a par with the original featuring a robust metal body and realistic styling complete with tampo front headlamps. Its just a shame they had to copy those wheels too! Bought directly from China back in January 2017. Mint and boxed.
