Mattel Elite X5503 Ferrari 458 Italia

Mattel Elite X5503 Ferrari 458 Italia (Black), 1/43rd scale diecast model car.

The 458 Italia is the latest incarnation of the mid-rear engined berlinetta produced in Maranello. As every Ferrari, it is the result of an uncompromising design approach that integrates styling and aerodynamic technology. The Pininfarina design features compact, sleek lines, underscoring the concepts of performance-oriented efficiency that inspired the project.

For the first time the engine is a dry-sump 90 degree V8 with a displacement of 4449 cc and is mid-rear mounted. It is a completely new design, engineered to reach a maximum of 9,000 rpm – a first on a road car – with a high 12:5:1 compression ratio and maximum power output of 570 CV. The modular chassis is an all-new design and helps keep weight down for superior performance and handling.
