Here's the Koenigsegg everyone is waiting for.

I would not at all be surprised if the NFS movie crew people took inspiration from that car for the 'stang. When it comes to Hot Wheels, there needs to be a premium line casting of that car. But that thing would sell like hot cakes in Antarctica.

NFS didn't actually design the car. It was a team effort with Ford and Shelby, but I wouldn't doubt the movie made the car more famous then it ever would have been.

Still looks just as off as the prototype pictures were... The whole large rear wheel thing just doesn't work at all with that...especially on RR's. As @Johnny1996 said, I'd love to see a mainline release as it doesn't feel like Retro Entertainment updates that often...

Glad that Mattel's got the Koenigsegg license. Possibility that they'll release...some models like the One:1 or CCX? :D Also would love to see them make more use out of the Pagani license with a Zonda of...some sorts.

Zonda? I prefer the Zonda R '09. :D

*giddy mode.
 
That (silver/blue)R8's one of the few newer Matchboxes I really like. 👍 I also see the resemblance on R34/Super Snake, but I think it's actually fairly common look for Shelby Mustangs. Look at the very first pic of Shelby Mustang on Wiki.

Got miscellaneous cars today:

Hot Wheels 100%/Black Box Jaguar XJ13


Hot Wheels Classic Red Baron(finally, with iron cross)


Hot Wheels Designers Challenge Mitsubishi Double Shotz


HW Fire Rods Rodger Dodger + Modern Classics Custom 07 Mustang


HW Racing Ford Mustang 2+2 Fastback + Vintage Racing Dan Gurney's '68 Mercury Cougar



Hot Wheels Pop Culture(?) Lucky Charms Hiway Hauler + Masters of the Universe '59 Cadillac Funny Car



All of them has yucky texture/feel like these cards suffered water damage, some are worn out, that Christmas car(pic posted couple of days ago) smelled like cigarettes. :yuck:
 
That Koenigsegg is awful. Truly awful. I will try to be a little more positive when I post about it.

As far as the R34, I am hearing some Retro Entertainment rumors. But I have heard many rumors before that didn't materialize.
 
@a6m5. Curse you for bringing AmiAmi to my attention. Seriously tempted to order these. Don't know though, $34 before shipping seems a little on the high side to me. Might wait until after the 260z ships. Also you'll be sad to know that your favourite Hello Kitty car isn't #1 on the most popular ranking any more. :P
 
Edit: @a6m5, they made an XJ13!!?? :eek:
I'm not gonna lie, I had never even heard of the car. I was going thru this one seller's inventory to save on shipping, ended up picking it up(I like shiny :P).
@a6m5: Don't you dare open the Red Baron or XJ13. Johnny won't approve. He'll be madder than a rabid dog in a dog toy factory.
:lol:👍

I had to bro...... Red Baron card was nasty, XJ13 was DIRTY. So dirty I actually cleaned the car inside the case. :crazy: Sorry for really crappy pics:

Tomica actually made lot of those "Seibu Keisatsu" series cars, and they are all crazy expensive. I loved that show as a kid, and while I love their Skylines, 280ZX & other cop cars, even I can't justify their crazy-expensive pricing. I would like to buy one of those unmarked police cars before all said & done though. I grew up in Japan, and I can only remember seeing those police cars ONCE. They hide like Ninjas. :lol:



Kinda like the A-Team in the sense I was really into these shows as a kid....... They look absolutely retarded now. :lol:

Agreed on the Koenigsegg(lol) & hopeful on the F&F R34. I'm sure they realize the car is a easy sellout
And a 442 from an obscure company
Need more pics! What is it, Racing Champions or something? Looks really interesting from this angle.....
