Manufactured by Maisto, this intricately detailed vehicle showcases a wide variety of features that make it highly coveted by collectors worldwide. One distinct detail is its functional doors and hood, allowing hobbyists to demonstrate their craftsmanship with detailed engine bay replicas or even a fully functional scale engine.
Additionally, the model carries the prestigious "M-0047973" lot number, marking it as part of an exclusive series from Maisto's die-cast collection, further elevating its status amongst collectors.
