About the Ferrari 125 S Red Hot Wheels 1:18
TL;DR: Hot Wheels' 1:18 diecast Ferrari 125 S reproduces the 1947 open-top racer in red, the very first car built and sold under Enzo Ferrari's own name, powered by a compact 1.5-liter V12. A genuine origin point for any Ferrari collection.
Every Ferrari on the road today traces back to one small, open-top racer, and this is that car.
The Car That Started the Ferrari Name
Enzo Ferrari had already spent years building racing cars for others before the 125 S arrived in 1947 as the first car ever to carry his own Ferrari badge. Its compact 1.5-liter V12 engine set a mechanical precedent that would define the brand for decades, a small-displacement, high-revving twelve-cylinder layout that became a Ferrari signature long after the 125 S itself faded into history. The car's open-top, cycle-fendered body reflected the racing conventions of its era, built for competition rather than road comfort, and it began racking up results almost immediately after its debut, establishing Ferrari's competitive credibility from the very first outing.
A Foundational Subject in Hot Wheels' Ferrari Catalog
Hot Wheels held a long-running Ferrari license that gave it access to the marque's full history, not just its modern supercars, and the 125 S represents that catalog reaching all the way back to the beginning. At 1:18, the car's compact, open-wheeled proportions look genuinely small next to any modern Ferrari, a visual reminder of how far the brand's cars have grown over eight decades. Diecast construction gives the small body real weight in hand, and the red finish matches the racing livery convention Ferrari has carried since its earliest competition entries.
The Starting Point for Any Ferrari Timeline
No Ferrari chronology is complete without this car. Everything else in the marque's history follows from it.
