    That 355 GTS looks like a Berlinetta to me.

    The Berlinetta image appears to be that of a 1/43 scale Bang 355 GTB that is probably just a temporary placeholder until they have an image of the 1/18 scale 355 GTS.

    All they are is a Re-release of what is already available.

    Not sure about that because I do not believe HW made a 355 Spider in silver and bordeaux....I know UT made a red 355 GTS, but have never seen a HW version..

    They are doing the same as the "Traditions" Series. The cars were available 3-4 years ago, now they are released once again. This time at a slightly higher price. They are doing the same with the 355 GTB and Spider. I have both of these cars from when they were originally released.

    Robbie, before you pee your pants with excitement, let me set the record straight.
    This models existed before (yes, hotwheels made a GTS) BUT THEY WERE NEVER RELEASED IN THE COLOR COMBINATIONS YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    It is just another way for hotwheels to make more money. Release old models in new colors.

    It must be! I have never known the GTS was available in Red. All I ever knew about was the Yellow, which 285FERRARI bought from me, and the Black one in Kit Form. Some pics would be nice if you could do so.
