Hot Wheels and Ferrari Reunite After a Decade

After a ten-year hiatus, Hot Wheels is set to bring Ferrari die-cast models back to its lineup, reigniting a partnership that fans have long awaited. Revealed at the Nuremberg International Toy Fair, Mattel announced a diverse range of Ferrari toys, including basic 1/64-scale models priced at just $1 (RM4.60), exclusive Mattel Creations editions, and remote-controlled cars. The collection will highlight Ferrari’s iconic road cars and racing machines, featuring both classic and modern designs. The first wave of models is expected to launch this March, with more to follow.

A Look Back: From Allies to Rivals

Throughout the 2000s, Hot Wheels and Ferrari collaborated on a series of premium models, including Michael Schumacher’s championship-winning F1 cars and timeless classics like the 365 GTS/4 Daytona. However, the partnership ended in 2014 when Ferrari signed an exclusive licensing agreement with Maisto and Bburago. This shift limited Ferrari die-casts to these brands, which were less accessible in North American markets.

The last Hot Wheels Ferrari was the LaFerrari, released in 2014. Since then, collectors have been eagerly awaiting the return of officially licensed Ferrari models to the Hot Wheels lineup—and that moment has finally arrived.

Meet the Ferrari F80: The Ultimate V6 Hybrid Hypercar with Groundbreaking Performance

The Ferrari F80 is set to become the brand’s new flagship hypercar, following in the footsteps of the LaFerrari. Featuring cutting-edge performance and technology, the F80 blends Ferrari’s iconic engineering with modern hybrid systems to rewrite hypercar history.

Powertrain and Performance:

Under the hood, Ferrari has introduced a revolutionary 3.0-litre hybrid V6, accompanied by three electric motors. The engine alone generates 900hp, while the combined output reaches a staggering 1,184hp, making the F80 the most powerful Ferrari ever built. The electric motors are positioned on both axles, providing added torque, and energy regeneration, and enhancing the driving experience through torque vectoring.

Thanks to its powertrain, the F80 accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in just 2.15 seconds, and 0 to 201km/h in 5.75 seconds, with a top speed of 350km/h. The hybrid system utilises a cutting-edge 800-volt battery pack and the combination of advanced turbo technology and hybrid components results in almost no turbo lag.

Aerodynamics and Chassis:

The F80 features a sleek, lightweight carbon fiber and composite monocoque chassis, with active aerodynamic features drawn from Ferrari’s Formula 1 expertise. The aerodynamic package generates a remarkable 1,000kg of downforce at 250km/h, improving cornering stability and high-speed performance. Key elements include a pointed nose with Ferrari’s signature S-Duct, an active rear wing, and a massive diffuser, all working together to optimise downforce.

Design and Interior:

Designed by Flavio Manzoni, the F80 sports a futuristic yet retro-inspired design, with nods to past models like the Ferrari F40 and the Daytona. The car’s greenhouse is lower than the LaFerrari’s, and butterfly doors add flair. Inside, the cabin emphasises a driver-centric “1+” layout, featuring a bright red adjustable sport seat for the driver and a fixed passenger seat. A new flat-top and flat-bottom steering wheel debuts in the F80 and is set to appear in future Ferrari models.

Driving Dynamics:

Ferrari has integrated several advanced technologies to optimise driving dynamics. The F80 features an active suspension system with spool-valve dampers that adjust continuously for optimal ride and handling. It also debuts Ferrari’s “Boost Optimisation” technology, which analyses the track layout during driving and delivers extra power at key moments. Drive modes include Hybrid, Performance, and Qualify, with each mode fine-tuning the balance between power delivery and energy recovery.

Braking and Safety:

To match its formidable speed, the F80 comes equipped with Brembo’s new CCM-R Plus brakes, which offer significantly better mechanical strength and thermal performance than traditional carbon brakes. Ferrari has also added advanced active safety features such as automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and traffic sign recognition, a rare inclusion in hypercars.

Price and Availability:

Priced at €3.6 million, the Ferrari F80 is not only the most powerful but also the most expensive Ferrari ever produced. Only 799 units will be built, with production beginning at the end of 2025 and continuing through 2027.

The Ferrari F80 represents a bold step into the future for the brand, combining exhilarating performance with cutting-edge technology and hybrid engineering.

Ferrari Menutup Kilang Trigenerasi Awal, Meningkatkan Kapasiti Tenaga Boleh Diperbaharui

Ferrari baru-baru ini mengambil langkah besar ke arah neutraliti karbon dengan menutup kilang trigenerasi bahan api gas di Maranello tiga bulan lebih awal daripada jadual. Penutupan ini merupakan sebahagian daripada strategi penyahkarbonan Ferrari yang diumumkan semasa Hari Pasaran Modal 2022. Kilang trigenerasi yang telah beroperasi sejak 2009 menggunakan gas metana untuk menjana tenaga elektrik, haba, dan penyejukan, serta terkenal dengan kecekapan tenaganya.

Penutupan kilang ini akan mengurangkan pelepasan CO2 Skop 1 dan 2 sebanyak 60% dan mengurangkan penggunaan gas metana sebanyak 70%. Ini adalah langkah signifikan Ferrari untuk mencapai matlamat neutraliti karbon menjelang 2030. Sebagai sebahagian daripada rancangan ini, Ferrari akan menggandakan kapasiti sistem photovoltaic, bertujuan untuk mencapai 10 megawatt puncak (MWp) menjelang 2030, meningkat daripada 5 MWp yang sedia ada.

Ferrari’s Maranello Factory Takes Major Green Leap: Gas Plant Closed Ahead of Schedule

Ferrari has taken a significant step in its journey towards carbon neutrality by shutting down the gas-fuelled trigeneration plant at its Maranello factory. This early shutdown, three months ahead of schedule, is part of Ferrari’s decarbonisation plan, which was unveiled during the 2022 Capital Markets Day. The plant, which had been operational since 2009, generated electricity, heat, and cooling energy using methane gas and was known for its high-efficiency technology.

The closure will lead to a 60% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions and a 70% decrease in methane gas consumption, making it a crucial move towards Ferrari’s 2030 carbon neutrality goals. In place of the trigenerator, Ferrari is doubling its photovoltaic systems with the aim of reaching a capacity of 10 megawatts peak (MWp) by 2030, up from the current 5 MWp.

Pengeluaran Ferrari SF90 Stradale dan 812 GTS Dihentikan

Ferrari baru-baru ini mengumumkan penamatan dua model ikoniknya, SF90 Stradale dan 812 GTS, sebagai sebahagian daripada pelarasan strategik syarikat dalam tindak balas kepada perubahan dinamik pasaran dan prestasi jualan yang tidak menentu. Berikut adalah beberapa butiran mengenai keputusan ini:

Penamatan Model:
- SF90 Stradale: Model hibrid plug-in pertama Ferrari, memperkenalkan teknologi hibrid dengan enjin V8 pengecas turbo berkembar 3.9 liter yang menghasilkan 987bhp. Walaupun prestasi SF90 Stradale mengagumkan, ia akan dihentikan selepas hampir lima tahun di pasaran. Status SF90 Spider, versi berkonvertibel, masih belum jelas, dan mungkin kekal dalam pengeluaran untuk sementara waktu.
- 812 GTS: Versi terbuka dari 812 Superfast, menawarkan pengalaman memandu yang menggembirakan dengan enjin V12. Penamatan ini menandakan akhir era bagi model ini selepas beberapa tahun jualan.

Prestasi Jualan dan Strategi:
- Penurunan Jualan: Walaupun Ferrari mencatatkan peningkatan 2.7% dalam penghantaran keseluruhan tahun ke tahun, terdapat penurunan dalam jualan beberapa model, termasuk coupe Roma dan 812 Competizione, yang semakin menghampiri penghujung kitaran hayat mereka.
- Kenderaan Hibrid: Terdapat penurunan sedikit dalam jualan kenderaan hibrid, dengan permintaan yang semakin meningkat kembali kepada kenderaan enjin pembakaran dalaman (ICE). Ini mendorong Ferrari untuk menyesuaikan barisan modelnya.
