OUCH!!! :shock:
It's a nice model but it really isn't any better than any of there other Murcielagos. Even though it does come in very nice packaging with a display case and key chain.
I really wish they could of made it part of their Millenium edition line and improved the quality of it. Perhaps they could of improved on the door mechanizm and installed side windows in it. Also it would of been nice if they had plumbed the engine.

I am rather pleased with this model for what it is, a budget model. I only paid $12.50 for it. Plus, Motormax is the only game in town if your looking for a 1/18 Zonda.

nice, I have the 1/24 version. I have seen a few of these 1/18 Zonda's on ebay for about $16 USD - but with postage costs it gets a little expensive to get it to Aust.

On a scale of 1 to 10 I'll give the Zonda a 6. Using this scale, I'd have to say that most Maisto and Hotwheels would fall between 4 and 7.
I would have to say that the quality of the 1/18 Motormax Zonda is as good as any Maisto or Hotwheel model. The paint work is decent, much better than I expected it would be. The doors don't even use the typical 'dog leg' hinges, which is a plus.
Motormax did a really good job with the overall look and shape of this car. This model has plenty of presence in my collection. It is well build and has a solid feel to it. The ground clearance is just right; it doesn't sit to high.
The detail on this model also isn't bad. All 4 color of the Motormax Zonda have the same color interior, blue/white and black simulated carbon fibre. Fortunately this color combination works best on the blue Zonda. On the other color Zonda's it just doesn't look good at all and probally should be repainted. The engine also look decent and since the real Zonda doesn't have much visible in the engine bay, like belts and wires, Motormax was able to a good job replicating it.
The worst part of the model has to be the rims, they are just OK. I think that they are slightly undersized and a little to shiney. I think that if Maisto or Hotwheels had done this model they would have done a much better job in this area.
If your going to be buying this model don't expect Autoart quality. If your happy owning Hotwheels and Maistos, you'll be happy with the Motormax Zonda.
All in all, I am pleased with Motormax's efforts on the Zonda.
btw. If you want the Zonda in 1/18 Motormax is the only option.
