SCX with a new livery of the 550 Ferrari:
SCX presents the Ferrari 550 GT Maranello driven by the Italian Fabio Babini and his co-driver, the Austrian Philipp Petter, in the 2003 FIA GT Championship. This model by the firm with the prancing horse emblem features a truly spectacular design, in line with this Italian manufacturer's philosophy. The generously-proportioned front of the vehicle has striking lines and a straight finish which gives it a highly sporty look.
The petrol cap is another of the eye-catching details on the side. Inside the vehicle the reinforcing bars and the driver’s clothing are worth pointing out. In general, this is a car with a wealth of air intakes, as well as a long, very wide body which adds to the feeling of sportiness and passion which characterises the vehicles of the “scuderia”. From behind, the enormous black spoiler which sticks out beyond the sides of the car is the most striking feature.
The car basically uses two colours: red, which predominates on the bonnet and the rear, and yellow, which is is used for the bumpers, sides and roof of the car. These colours are the same ones used by Ferrari to distinguish its corporate identity throughout its successful history. Among the features which stand out in the side view are the wide, low-profile tyres, the silver alloy wheels and the lowered suspension which gives the vehicle an even more predatory look.

For those that are looking forward to the Spirit BMW, you'd be advised to get those pre-orders in. There will be limited numbers of these cars released.
