While I was rearranging my collection, an idea for a thread came to me. For this thread, I will be listing some Hot Wheels cars that are based on real liveries or partly inspired by them.
I'm gonna start with this Hot Wheels Hall of Fame Ferrari 333 SP.

The card included in the packaging mentions the Ferrari 333 SP winning the prestigious 24 Hours of Daytona. However, upon checking some images of the 333 SP that won the 1998 24 Hours of Daytona, I realized that the Hot Wheels got the livery all wrong. This led me to search for more images just to see if the livery of the Hot Wheels model was actually based on a real car. It was then that I encountered these 3 images from RacingSportsCars.com.


Why Hot Wheels chose to replicate this specific livery, I have no idea. I really do find it intriguing though and I hope someone can explain more regarding this.
