Ferrari F40 Mint Green Kyosho 1:18

Sold out
Ferrari F40 Mint Green Kyosho 1:18 08416MG Diecast
1 / 10
Kyosho's 1:18 diecast Ferrari F40 reproduces the 1987 supercar in a striking mint green finish, a rare alternative to the usual Rosso Corsa. Zinc alloy construction gives the model real heft in the hand, with crisp panel lines tracing the F40's slatted engine cover and NACA ducts. Built as Enzo Ferrari's final approved road car, the F40 paired a twin-turbo V8 with a carbon-kevlar body, and this diecast captures that stripped-back, purposeful shape for a supercar shelf that wants more than red.

About the Ferrari F40 Mint Green Kyosho 1:18

TL;DR: Kyosho's 1:18 diecast Ferrari F40 recreates the 1987 supercar in an uncommon mint green finish, with zinc alloy construction and crisp panel lines tracing its slatted engine cover. Enzo Ferrari's final approved road car, the F40 paired twin-turbo power with a carbon-kevlar body, a shape this diecast renders in true-scale proportion.

Mint green is not a colour anyone associates with the F40, which makes Kyosho's choice a genuine talking point on the shelf. Most replicas stick to Rosso Corsa or the occasional yellow; this one stands apart from the moment the display case opens.

Kyosho's Diecast Approach to Ferrari's F40

Zinc Alloy Weight and Panel Lines

Lift this F40 clear of its stand and the weight confirms zinc alloy diecast construction, denser than a resin casting of the same footprint. That contrast is worth noting because the real F40's body was built almost entirely from carbon-kevlar composite to save weight, so the replica's material serves durability and opening panels rather than a literal match. Kyosho holds tight, even shut lines around the doors and the slatted engine cover, panel discipline that lets the wedge profile read cleanly from across a room, with the NACA ducts along the flanks kept sharp rather than smoothed over.

Mint Green Against the Usual Rosso Corsa

Diecast manufacturers reaching for an F40 usually default to red, so a mint green example breaks the pattern immediately. Paint depth under direct light shows genuine metallic flake rather than a flat undercoat, the difference between a considered finish and a budget one. For a collector who already owns a red F40 from another maker, this colourway offers a legitimate second example on the shelf rather than a near-duplicate, and it photographs distinctly under cabinet lighting too.

The F40 as Enzo Ferrari's Final Approval

Twin-Turbo V8 and a Carbon-Kevlar Body

Ferrari built the F40 to mark its fortieth anniversary in 1987, and it was the last car Enzo Ferrari personally approved before his death the following year. Under that carbon-kevlar bodywork sat a twin-turbocharged V8 that made the F40 the fastest production Ferrari of its era, stripped of luxuries like power steering or ABS. The cabin was left deliberately spartan, with exposed composite weave visible in the footwells, a decision that prioritised weight saving over comfort throughout.

The Car That Broke the 200mph Barrier

The F40 is widely credited as one of the first production cars marketed at a genuine 200mph top speed, a benchmark that made it a poster car for an entire generation before the McLaren F1 and Bugatti EB110 pushed further. That reputation is part of why the F40 remains a cornerstone subject for diecast manufacturers decades later, and why a well-executed 1:18 replica still carries weight with collectors who never got near the real thing.

Where This F40 Sits on a Supercar Shelf

At roughly 22 centimetres long, this F40 sits comfortably among other 1:18 supercars without dominating a shelf the way a 1:12 Countach might. It pairs naturally with earlier Ferrari turbo-era cars like the 288 GTO, or later ones like the F50, tracing Maranello's halo-car lineage across three decades in a single row. Diecast at this scale and price point typically means opening doors and a lift-up engine cover rather than the fully detailed underbody a resin specialist might sculpt, a fair trade for the durability and handling weight collectors expect from Kyosho's construction.

Positioned in the mid-range of 1:18 diecast pricing, a model like this should show consistent panel gaps, properly registered decals if any are used, and a wheel-to-arch fit that avoids the too-high stance cheaper castings sometimes show. Keep it away from direct sunlight, which fades painted plastic trim faster than the metal body, and dust with a soft brush rather than a cloth that can catch on the mirrors or aerial. For anyone building a supercar collection heavy on red, this mint green F40 is the piece that breaks the monotony without sacrificing the model's presence.
