CMC Confirms Its 2010 New Announcements

Today CMC confirmed its new 1:18 announcements for 2010, and they are all very exciting subjects.

First there is the absolutely beautiful Bugatti Type 57 SC Atlantic, which will be available in blue (CMC083) and black (CMC085).

There will also be a CMC 1:18 transporter, the Bartoletti Ferrari example from 1957 (CMC084).

Moving on to racing replicas, we will see two racing versions of the Ferrari Testa Rossa. The first will be the #22 Testa Rossa from the 1958 Le Mans 24 Hours, as campaigned by Ed Hugus and Ernie Erickson (CMC080). This is in the NART colours of white with a blue stripe. The second racer will be Alan Connell’s 1959 Testa Rossa, in black with a red nose (CMC081).

Finally, there will be Rudolf Caracciola’s winning Mercedes SSKL from the 1931 German Grand Prix (CMC082).

If we see all of these released in 2010, it will surely be CMC’s best year ever!
