Click on image for larger picture
Hot Wheels/red          Burago/yellow
The HW version is somewhat more of an updated Burago, some of the screw holes are the same. A few minor exterior details are noticed when comparing the 2:
Hot wheels                                                             Burago
Drivers side mirror                                                  nope
front turn signals are painted amber                          silver
brake rotors are silver                                              black
front air inlet on hood(front) is black                         body color
tailights are amber,red,white                                     amber
inside of exhaust pipes is black                                 chrome

When you open the engine compartment on both cars, the details are quite noticable. The HW version is alot more detailed! Burago uses too much chrome still on their models.
When the front bonnet is open, the Burago is just bare metal, some plastic & a spare tire. The HW car is black plastic with a spare tire molded in.
The interiors on both cars need improvement. Both use stickers for gauges. The HW's interior is all black, not much detail. The Burago version at least uses some different colors, even if they are wrong.
I changed the wheels on the Burago TR to those from the Burago Ferrari 456 GT. They look better then the stock ones, IMO.
These cars can be found at most stores that carry Burago or Hot Wheels 1/18 cars. YThey can usually be found for $10 or less(even off Ebay, thats where the red HW came from, $9.99)
