Diecast Cars from the movie Redline
Price: 39.99
Now I didn’t watch the movie Redline (came out in April of 2007), but it did interest me mostly because if was a movie starring cars, bikes and hooked up trucks and SUVs.
Here are some of the cars featured in the move and can be bought as diecast vehicles.

This is sweet. I personally think the best part is that the wheels are current with todays styles AND the wheel doesn’t go all up into the wheel well. In other words you can see the whole wheel. This is how you see most cars even if they have 22″ rims on them.
And, with HotWheels, the front wheel actually turns. I may not “play” with my collection much, but I want as much realism as I can afford. Having the front wheel turn is a staple of diecast cars and trucks.
And yes it is one of my pet peeves with Jada Toys. Nice up to date styles and customization on their cars, but can you let the front wheel turn please?
If your not into the WHIPS idea, HotWheels has a stock version of the Enzo:
Pretty hot! Not sure about the yellow, but they got red so I guess it works out. Here is the decription of the importantce of the car from the site (DiecastFast.com):
Ferrari’s newest and greatest supercar uses design and technology inspiration from Formula 1, making it one of the fastest road cars in the world. With a rumoured top speed of 230mph and a 0-100mph time of under 7 seconds, this really is the ultimate driving machine. The 100% Hot Wheels® 1:18 F60 scale model will be the only way to get close to owning one of the most sought after cars in the world! This 100% Hot Wheels® model is carefully detailed to precision including door handles, emblems, logos and shape of the headlights. So what does Ferrari think of Mattel and Hot Wheels® cars? Alberto Crippa, Ferrari’s director of licensing and merchandising, told us that ‘Mattel is the only die-cast toy marker permitted to use the Prancing Horse. It is more than a toy’. And it is no wonder Ferrari have teamed up exclusively with Hot Wheels® to bring you the sheer joy, exhilaration and excitement from owning a Ferrari.
So take a piece of history right here. Maybe when the next Transformer movie comes out, they might have an Enzo in it.
