About the Ferrari F40 Mint Green Kyosho 1:18

TL;DR: Kyosho's 1:18 diecast Ferrari F40 reproduces the 1987 supercar, the last car Enzo Ferrari personally approved, in an uncommon mint green finish rather than the usual Rosso Corsa. Zinc alloy construction gives real heft, with opening doors and a lift-up engine cover exposing the twin-turbo V8. A distinctive alternative for 1980s supercar collections.

Ferrari built the F40 to mark forty years of the company and to give Enzo Ferrari one last car bearing his personal approval before his death in 1988. Kyosho's diecast take on it skips the expected red for a pale mint green, a small choice that changes how the whole shape reads.

Kyosho's Diecast Take on Ferrari's Last Enzo-Approved Car

The 1987 F40 and Its Turbocharged V8

The F40 arrived in 1987 as Ferrari's most extreme road car to date, built around a twin-turbocharged V8 and a body skinned largely in composite panels rather than steel. It was the first production car to pass 200 mph, and it did so with no power steering, no ABS, and no carpet, a car stripped to the essentials of speed. Kyosho's casting follows that shape closely, from the slatted engine cover to the NACA ducts along the flanks, the details a collector checks first when judging how faithfully a diecast captures a car this specific in its proportions.

Opening Features and Zinc Alloy Weight

Lift the model and the zinc alloy body announces itself immediately, a density no resin casting reaches. The doors open on metal hinges with a firm, deliberate action, and the rear engine cover lifts to expose a reasonably detailed twin-turbo V8 sitting where the original's went. That opening engine cover matters more on an F40 than on most supercars, since the real car's rear deck was designed around cooling that motor, and Kyosho's diecast makes a point of showing it off rather than sealing it away, which makes the unusual paint on top of it just as much a talking point as what's underneath.

Mint Green Against the Rosso Corsa Norm

Ferrari sold the F40 almost exclusively in Rosso Corsa, and the vast majority of surviving cars and models alike wear that red. Kyosho's mint green execution is the exception, not the default, and it changes how the body reads under light. Pale green flattens the drama a saturated red brings to the F40's creases, but it also lets the panel lines and vents show up more clearly, since there's less color intensity competing for attention. The paint sits even across the hood and doors, with no visible orange peel where curved surfaces meet, and the factory-style finish holds up under close inspection rather than looking like an afterthought color swapped in for variety. For a collector who already owns the F40 in red, or who simply wants a supercar that doesn't disappear into every other red Ferrari on the shelf, the mint green example earns its place by standing apart rather than trying to out-red the standard version.

Where This F40 Fits Among Kyosho's Ferrari Diecast

1:18 Scale Presence on the Shelf

At 1:18, the F40's low, wide stance translates into real shelf presence, roughly matching the footprint of other flagship-scale supercars from the same era. The scale is large enough to carry the F40's vents, spoiler, and NACA ducts without softening them into vague shapes, which is where smaller formats tend to lose this car's character. Kyosho built its reputation on 1:18 Ferrari and Lamborghini diecast through the 1990s and 2000s, favoring opening features and reasonably heavy castings over the ultra-fine panel gaps sealed resin can achieve.

Placement Alongside Other Supercar Diecast

Diecast at this tier trades some of the razor-sharp shut lines a hand-built resin piece offers for functional doors, a lifting engine cover, and a body that feels substantial in the hand, a fair trade for buyers who want to interact with the model rather than just look at it. Set beside period rivals like the Lamborghini Countach or Porsche 959, the F40 in mint green reads as the quieter, more analytical choice among 1980s supercars, and this diecast gives that reading a physical shelf presence rather than leaving it as an idea.
