Ferrari had a large format model made and gave to each of the customers that purchased one of the La Ferrari's. I'm not sure of the scale, maybe 1:10 or 1:12. It was about 16" long and on what looked like a CF base with a nice clear cover and the VIN# on the plaque.

It would be great if Ford would make a model of the new Ford GT to go to each new owner.

What do you think Bill, Edsel, Henry III, Raj?

Maybe not to that level, but I bet they will. Lamborghini does a 1:18 with every car.

If I recall, the lambo reventon had a model that was available for something like $25k personalized for the owners car.

It would be really nice. Of course, my first goal is to get the car! Still hopeful for that year 4 allocation!

How nice of them. $25k for a toy car sounds like a bargain.

Exactly. The 1:1 model is the most important.

Exactly. I would be good. 25k is a decent chunk of a 350...

Or don't make a model and knock 25k off sticker of the NGT.

Thanks Issac, you know my source of the info, I guess I had forgotten the exact details.

Models and toy cars are cool.......if you're 10 years old.

Ok, I take it back... seems this was not a good idea... but if they do offer one I hope it is a 1:8 scale

Granted the Reventon's was something like a 1:4 or 1:5 scale model... Here is Ken Lingenfelter's (which is the first thing you see upon entering the Lingenfelter collection).

The model is probably about 3 feet long.

Model cars are cool for people of every age. Especially for those of us who can't actually afford our dream cars.

You're right about that. Same reason Xcentric has a life size blow up doll of Kate Hudson.

$.94 at WalMart. :)

I've already picked up several NFGT and Shelby GT350 Hot Wheels from there.
