well according to Hotwheels there is no other 360 CS other than the red with stripes. That has to be a custom job they even painted the mirrors blue when they are supposed to be black. there are no support bars in the rear window and the Ferrari name is in a different place on the rear, it's too far back compared to the CS and the rear hatch has a different bulge than the 360CS version does. I'll take pics of mine to show you what I mean soon.

these are of his red CS:



note the bulge on the rear:

You are correct.

This car originally was the Blue 360 Whips edition with the oversized rims. I didn't like those giant rims so I decided to change them. I took apart this model and the 360 CS and realized that both chassis were identical. So I swapped the chassis with the 360 CS.

So basically it's a 360 CS with a worse chassis, and the other one is now a 360 Modena with a better.. hmm, wonder if it performs as well as before 8)

The two chassis are the same, its just the rims that are different.

Here the red 360 CS now with the oversized rims. These rims wouldn't look that bad if they weren't sooo big.

The blue Ferrari 360 is a new release from Hotwheels. It just doesn't come with those rims. I swapped the rims with the 360 CS.
