Jetsons cars and Mystery Machines be damned!!
This might be a car from a TV Show, but let's celebrate the third beautiful Ferrari to come out of the Retro Entertainment line. This may not totally be on par with Ferris's California or Crockett's Daytona Spyder, nor as pornstache cool as Magnum's 308, but, head-gear front bumper and all, this is one nice Hot Wheels Ferrari.
The Dino was supposed to Ferrari's low-cost entry in the automotive world, leaving the Ferrari badge for the V-12 monsters. But now the Dino is just considered a Ferrari, and to many is one of the best looking cars ever to come out of the Ferrari factory. We won't argue with that.
The HW Dino casting has only been used twice before, in the Ferrari Racers and Garage lines, and while both were quite nice, the model hits its stride here. Perfect wheels, and, um, it is red. Again, it qualifies for the Retro line, Hot Wheels best premium line at the moment, because Robert Wagner drove it in a TV show, but it probably made its way because nothing can beat a Hot Wheels Ferrari.
We have sung the praises of the Retro line, and will continue to do so. Yesterday the RLC crowd got a sneak peak of the Karate Kid '48 Ford (pop culture cool) and the James Bond Aston Martin DBS (cool car cool), which easily showcase why we like the line. The pop-culture references are there for those into that, but so are the fantastic cars for the car nerds. It isn't Boulevard, but it is getting closer and closer.
There are more pop-culture oriented models in this batch, and we will show them a bit later. For now, enjoy the Ferrari...
