So I’ve done it. I now own a version of every red Ferrari ever made by hot wheels.
It all started when I noticed I had about 7 or so red Ferraris in my collection. Then I thought, “Why not collect all of the red ones? There can’t be that many.” I was mostly wrong about that last statement, but man it’s been fun along the way.
I did have some rules I had to follow otherwise this could have been too easy or impossible. First off, I decided if there was a change in the casting, then I needed to add it to the collection. This is noticeable in the ferrari 308/308gts/328 castings and some others like the 355s and 430s. Slight variations, but they are there. I wasn’t about to go collecting every variation; e.g. every wheel type, every different release, etc. I used this site to guide me to what I needed (below): I feel like I may need to find some way to research the 100% line because the hot wheels wikia doesn’t cover those...
So without further ado, here is every red ferrari ever made by hot wheels - in chronological order by when it was made in real life by Ferrari. Sit back and relax, this is a long one...
