About the Pininfarina Mythos Red Revell 1:18

TL;DR: Revell's 1:18 diecast Pininfarina Mythos in red reproduces the Italian coachbuilder's open-top concept car, built on Ferrari Testarossa mechanicals. It suits collectors drawn to design-house concepts rather than production Ferraris.

Pininfarina rarely put a shape on the road as extreme as the Mythos, and this model gives that design exercise a permanent place off the show stand.

A Wedge Shape Built for Attention

The Mythos has no conventional windscreen frame or roof, its wedge-nosed body flowing into a low, sharply cut tail, and red suits the design exactly the way it did on the show circuit, giving the sculpted flanks maximum visual drama under light. Revell's diecast tooling, drawing on the brand's long background in model kits as well as pre-built replicas, holds the car's sharp creases and low glasshouse without softening them into a more conventional shape. Panel lines around the pop-up headlight covers and the rear deck are handled cleanly, important on a design where the surfacing itself is the entire point.

A Coachbuilder's Concept, Not a Production Car

Built using Ferrari Testarossa underpinnings but wearing entirely Pininfarina's own bodywork, the Mythos was a pure design statement rather than a preview of any production model, the sort of exercise coachbuilders used to demonstrate what their studios could do unconstrained by manufacturing practicality. That makes it a genuinely different kind of collecting subject: not a Ferrari in the usual sense, but a design house's vision using Ferrari mechanicals as a canvas. It sits naturally alongside other coachbuilder concepts rather than a conventional Ferrari model range.
