RC 1:18 Ferrari 458 Italia

Ferrari’s magnificent 458 Italia could well be the end of the line for big naturally aspirated V8 supercars, with its successor having a smaller displacement twin turbo powerplant.

If you don’t have the £250,000 you’ll need to buy one of these iconic motors then this 1:18 scale model just might be the next thing. Its sleek, aggressive lines are replicated perfectly in miniature and whilst its electric motor may not have the throaty growl of a 4.5l V8 it can still propel the car plenty fast enough to scare the heck out of your cat.

Full function radio control lets you whizz around to your heart’s content and there’s steering adjustment on the car itself to make sure it’s as precise and accurate as can be.

So whether you want an RC car to zip around the living room or even just a stylish replica of an incredible car to sit on your shelf you could do an awful lot worse than this RC 1:18 Ferrari 458 Italia.
