A dramatic departure from their familiar matte blue Red Bull Ampol race livery, the subdued grey finish was chosen as the preferred aero-testing colour, allowing for clearer visual analysis and underlining the serious intent behind the program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the subdued grey finish, the livery was really breathtaking. The contrasting greys, line work, Triple Eight and Ford Racing logos combined with the iconic Mustang Pony on the sides to form an awesome, stealthy looking Supercar. One that was begging to be replicated in scale model form as soon as it was revealed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTriple Eight Race Engineering fans and die-hard Ford Racing collectors, can now get their hands on one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1:18 scale model is scheduled to be produced in high quality die-cast with opening parts which includes the bonnet and both the driver and passenger doors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA highly detailed racing cockpit can be seen through the molded clear glasshouse, or by opening the doors to examine the interior further. Under the bonnet includes a detailed 5.4-litre Coyote quad overhead cam V8 and engine bay surround. Underneath the model, the undercarriage details the unique Gen3 floorpan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComprised of roughly 204 individual metal and plastic parts, with anywhere between 100-200 steps in paint and decoration finishing, including tampo printing where possible, photo etched parts including the bonnet pints, brake rotors and more, this is a high quality, detailed collectors model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt will come in an exclusive, one-off limited edition with an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity presented in its own, Authentic Collectables branded protective cardboard folder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDon’t miss your chance to secure this model.
