3/18/20 82/100 Ferrari 456GT

A rather outsider of the Italian Sports Cars series is this 456GT that makes one more appearance before living its final years in ROW series or other series, and it finally gets a decent deco after years of countless Tyco malaise graphics since its introduction in 1994.  The 456GT is a four-seat Ferrari with that fabulous V-12 mounted up front and smoother styling done in a tasty beige color.  The front has detailed signal lights, a black grille, and a Ferrari badge on the hood, while the rear has detailed round taillights and a rear license plate and the sides are nicely done and clean from any graphic coverage.  The interior is a gorgeous butterscotch tan color and has all of the right details for this four seat coupe, and it features a working suspension with 5-spoke wheels though my example suffers from a leaning problem.  This casting had lots of potential ruined by untactful graphics, but this 2000 release of the 456GT has finally redeemed itself!
