A Little Ferrari Festival!

The Hot Wheel Ferrari Enzo

It's time for a $10 Ferrari Festival.  It's all the little Ferraris that I was able to buy for about $10.  We'll kick the festival off with this brilliant red Ferrari Enzo from Hot Wheels!  I'd like to think that Ferrari inspired Toyota to add a gated shifter for my much more mundane real world car!

Hot Wheels Ferrari Enzo: A Collectible Speedster


The Hot Wheels Ferrari Enzo roared into the die-cast world in 2003 as part of the First Editions series, captivating collectors and kids alike. Modeled after the real-life Ferrari Enzo, a mid-engine supercar produced from 2002 to 2004, this 1:64 scale replica boasts sleek lines, a vibrant red finish, and detailed Ferrari badges, mirroring the iconic design by Pininfarina. Its debut release, #36 in the 2003 First Editions, featured chrome PR5 wheels and a black plastic base, making it a standout for its authenticity and craftsmanship.
Since its introduction, the Hot Wheels Ferrari Enzo has seen numerous special editions, elevating its collectible status. In 2007, it joined the coveted Treasure Hunt series (#9/12), with a Spectraflame red finish and exclusive packaging, driving collectors wild. The 2007 Ferrari Racer 60th Anniversary edition offered a gold chrome variant, while a matte black version with gold stripes added flair. A rare 2013 Mexico Convention edition, limited to just 25 units with Firestone Real Riders tires, is a holy grail for enthusiasts. The 2004 “Tooned” version, with exaggerated proportions, added a playful twist.
For families, this tiny Enzo sparks joy through racing and imaginative play, fostering a love for cars. Its detailed design and special editions, from Truckin’ Transporters to Ferrari 5-Packs, make it a timeless addition to any Hot Wheels collection, blending speed, style, and nostalgia.
