    I just noticed that has five vents below the wing and the back window is like the prototypes.

    Good eye. There is a very good reason behind it. It is the same reason why HW's Enzo seems inaccurate in many ways but it actually is not.
    When a model manufacturer has the official license to make a model (Bburago did when they released their F40) most often than not they have access to the car design and blue prints before the car has been made. This is why the F40 has all the features of the first F40 prototype. The seats ARE correct to that car and so are the vents, window, open fusebox in the interior and the engine plenum which to most people seems highly inaccurate. Supposedly this car made way more power than the production F40 too.
    The Hot Wheels Enzo suffers from the same issues. The "inaccurate" Engine air box, equal size mirrors-left and right, and the silver wheels on the FXX are all correct for the prototype of that car. Wisely enough HW corrected the issues with the Enzo with their Elite, but totally f-ed up on the F40.

    Here is also something cool I made for a very good customer of mine

    Enzo himself owned the prototype before his death, I think it was his last car he owned.
