    Both Hotwheels and GMP are in the process of releasing 512 models. The first GMP release is the 1970 Targa Florio car. As far as I know they haven't announced what will follow on but no doubt a long tail car will be on the cards. Hotwheels have released a couple of 512 models both short tail at the moment but again I think a long tail is coming. GMP are likely to make much the better model though.

    As said above, Hot Wheels makes a 512 S spider, and GMP has a spider coming out, and a belinetta soon after. I am sure GMP will make a coda lunga as well. The Hot Wheels one is not very nice. GMP makes nice stuff, they are not cheap, about $300. Biggest issue with GMP is IMO their quality control can sometimes be lacking. I have had to send a few back for different ones due to paint issues and loose parts.

    I'll be very surprised if GMP doesn't also do Andretti's Sebring winner. I think the Coda Lunga is a given, considering that the rear bodywork is the only real difference, and that's a removeable piece anyway. I wonder whether they'll take the next step and do the 512M as well. A Sunoco 512M will make a very attractive model (even if it is in the wrong color!)

    I have a couple of GMPs, the P4 and the PB, and haven't had any quality control issues.
