Bburago Car Models

Bburago is an Italian model car manufacturer, that was based in Burago di Molgora, Italy, which made mostly diecast cars from 1976 to 2005, and then under the May Cheong (Maisto) group since 2007.
Called Martoys from 1974 to 1976, the company was founded by Mario, Ugo, and Martino Besana, who had previously started Mebetoys, which they sold to Mattel (Force 1992, 124). Martoys, however, focused on larger sizes of toys and was renamed Bburago in 1976. Bburago (with two "B's") is the correct spelling, ostensibly standing for both the town name as well as the name of the Besana family.
One of the earliest Bburago lines were a a series of 1:43 scale Fiat trucks, but these seem to have disappeared by about 1980, according to Force (1992, pp. 22, 124-125). Continuing the Martoys...

Ferrari F12 Berlinetta quick spin review - Drive

A blindingly fast V12-powered flagship that follows a rich tradition set in place by icons such as the Ferrari 250 GTO and 365 GTB/4 Daytona. Personally, the first model car I bought with my own pocket money was a 1995 Ferrari 550 Maranello finished in Nero Daytona metallic black paint with a cream interior and silver wheels. That car's timeless long-bonnet proportions reached out to 12-year-old me more than brighter-coloured rivals in the toy shop, and I can still remember telling dad I just had to have it. Collecting the keys for a test drive of its modern successor... While cars like this don't make fiscal sense, there is a strong emotional argument that they represent much more than a flashy set of wheels.

Customizing a diecast 1:18 Diablo - The Daily Star

Photo by Jack Snell - Thanks for over 21 Million Views on Flickr

BBurago specialises in inexpensive diecast models. I got this 1:18 scale Diablo amidst great excitement and it started to bug me. Something about the car isn't right. The window is narrow, front fender too thick from upward of the front wheelarch. The car's been lowered slightly, added a custom hood and a lower spoiler. There'a splitter up front with a couple of holes to direct airflow in and through the hood for that much needed miniature downforce. On the inside all the silly chrome bits have been painted matte black. Don't know wht bburgao loves chroming so much because these cars never had any. SUre you need to hold on in these cars but not like that. The blue is inspired a bit form some of the SV models but this is a much lighter shade.
