The only one that I have ever come across is the Ferrari 512 BB Boxer.

There is an old 1/32 scale model kit made by Entex that can be made into a slot car if your not afraid of a bit of work.

Here are some pics of one that I built a few years back

There are tons of other Exotic Road Cars available, unfortunately not the ones tht you are looking for.

If you broden your want list, I could probably help you out.

The Lotus Esprit is there as a race car (GT1/GT2) but easy to bring back to a road car. With just a little more work then painting.
Ditech Produktion

The Espada is on my list for cars I wish also. That is in 1:32 as in 1:1.

Do you know where I can find that Boxer kit from Entex? Love building cars
like that, more info on chassis you used and stuff you did?

Also, great looking Countach, Auto Art or other?

Here are some of the Exotic Street Cars in my collection;

You can see more pics of the cars that I have built and collected over the years here;
Gordo's Gallery

If you look through the pictures you will see some photos that show more detail of how I built the 512 Boxer.

As far as the Entex kit goes, they were made back in the 1970's or early 80s I believe.
You can find one or two of them a year on Ebay.

If your interested in discussing any of these cars in more detail feel free to PM me.

1.Static kit by AMT(?)
2.Static kit by Revell
3.White kit from Team Slot

5.Pendle Slot Racing Go to slot cars/resin cars/look for italian job police car

 

[Gordo Bond 007]

Oops! I didn't see the Testarossa on your list.

Revell made a 1/32 scale static kit of it back in the 1980's.

Here is a slot car conversion that I did.

It's not a very good representation of the real car, but at least it exists.

Also I see that you don't want an SCX 288 GTO, but until someone else makes one better, it's all that we have.

Good luck on your quest!

P.S. Check your mailbox, I sent you a PM!

A few others on your list are also available in 1/32:-

Ferrari 308 - Scalextric released a version a couple of years back

Porsche 935DP - There's a gent on ebay who does resin Porsches, one of his cars is the 935 similar to the Dage Sport version with the Flatnose and 930 Turbo body.

Renault 5 Turbo - I believe A2M resin did this car, worth checking ebay France and Spain.

Not aware of a Maserati Bora, but Airfix did an Maserati Indy in 1/32.

 

[Dave England]

Entex also did a fairly crude Maserati Bora, the sort of kit intended for a wind up motor. I have one and seem to think it was Entex while I am sitting at work in any case.

I would like to find their Pantera model but will just wait for the one being made commercially this year by Scaleauto (?).

Cheers,

Dave
