This is my first complete collection of Shell-Ferrari promotional series. Although I have a complete range of the 2007 Ferrari car models, I don't consider it as complete since I missed the 2007 Collector's Garage. I think many of us did not realise the existence of the garage during the campaign period.
There are 7 models altogether, all in 1:38 scale. When pulled back and released, the model will accelerate and produce dynamic engine sound. I don't think the sound produced by the model is realistic as claimed by Shell (or as written by the media), but at least it does its best to imitate the sound of a car if not a Ferrari supercar.
All models are in 1:38 scale and made of plastics:
1. FXX
2. 599 GTB Fiorano
3. F430 Challenge
4. F40
5. 250 GTO
6. 360 Challenge Stradale
7. 575 GTC
1. FXX
This is the most advanced model ever built at Maranello. Only 30 prototypes were made. Michael Schumacher was given the most unique unit - the only black FXX with the number 30 on its body - to mark the 30th or last FXX built.
2. 599 GTB Fiorano
3. F430 Challenge
A good example of technology transfer from F1 to a supercar. The gearbox and braking system comes from the Formula One technology.
4. 250 GTO
In 1962, was champion in the 24 Heures du Mans in its class.
5. F40
Built from 1987 until 1992. Can go up to 324kmh. Also competed in the 24 Heures du Mans race.
6. 360 Challenge Stradale
This V8 mid-engine supercar can accelerate up to 300 kmh.
7. 575 GTC
This model was developed by the Ferrari Corse Clienti department and N.Technology.
