Yes if you are after black.. 1 Utama Jusco
Thanks! I did get that black Carerra GT. There was a red 1, but it had a scratch on the paintjob, so settled for the black.

It's really nice but still used the Kit Carnauba wax to make it more shiny. The rear lights use a sticker to make it look like those LED dots. But the right side was not put on correctly, so I had to use a needle to poke through the gap and move the sticker into place. Now searching for more pics of the car and see if I could make it more similar to the real car.

Don't mention it. Glad that you managed to find it. If I'm not mistaken, red is a new colour. The Uncle's shop at USJ Summit Shopping Complex has one red Carrera GT there. I saw it yesterday while I was there.

Hey.. i have that reventon 1/24, Bburago as well. I bought from UO/ Ocean shopping complex in KL a month ago. So surprised to see it there and bought it. There was an article about this car in TopGear Malaysia magazine 1 or 2 months back.

Just weird that the car uses modern technology where the disc brakes can work without calipers. sweat.gif

Maisto Gallardo Superleggera, yeah.. got mine from jusco IOI yesterday too. Really impressive for that price of rm80+. But funny how the doors don't open so wide, it's like you need to be super thin to get into the car. hahaha.

Today I saw another carrera GT in gunmetal color. Upon closer inspection.. it was different from the black one I bought before. So I decided to buy that.

Didn't know Maisto had 2 different versions of the same car. The difference between both are huge. Front boot,engine bay, oil cap , seats, windscreen and rear view mirror, front headlights, front air dam, interior color, dashboard display, side indicator color, rear wing, 3rd brake light, door handle... i'd say only the shape is the same.. the rest is different.

indodiecast forum pics of carrera gt

I bought that from Toy's R us and they have 10% off for all these 1/18 cars. Better yet.. spend rm150, and they give you an rm25 cash voucher you can use next visit. However......... the rm25 voucher can only be used from 1st september to 30th. I not sure why they limit to only 1 month.

Still finding pics for the other version..
