    Hi
    I just purchased and received my new Hot Wheels elite
    2008 Massa/Spain GP car.
    This Elite version is a metallic or pearl red.
    its a great color but did SF actually use this color
    in 2008 or did HW just get creative.
    I really like it but bought the Elite for more detail an acuracy..hmmm

    The metallic red color is the color they raced with that year... It had a very fine metallic flake in it - I'm pretty sure it was a different paint color, too - not just making the existing color metallic.

    I think it is/was hard for the model companies to accurately reproduce...

    Thank you !
    the Hot Wheels elite color is a beautiful color and even if it isn't 100% spot on it's good to know they tried and Ferrari did use a metallic for different red in 2008 other
    than rosso corsa.
