The Hot Wheels Ferrari 512S was a 1973 release that was produced in Hong Kong and designed by Paul Tam. It is based upon the Ferrari 512S Berlinetta Speciale concept car.
It can be found in a variety of enamel colors, has blue tinted windows, a black interior, and through-hole redline wheels. The car has a front hatch for the cockpit and a rear hatch that raises to reveal the engine.
The die-cast car was a promotional item available at Shell service stations. It is a reissue of the Ferrari 512S from 1972 with a couple of changes.
The reissue has enamel instead of Spectraflame paint and does not have black painted louvers. Rounded protectors were added to the base next to the rear wheels.
