First of all, the first photo is not correct. The second one is, that's exactly how the car looks. As for the construction, it is very high-quality with great detail. The only downside is the base that the car sits on, it's made of foam and if you want to display it somewhere, it loses a lot of its appeal! I believe this particular car is more suitable for collectors rather than children. It's like a jewel and it's a shame to break it apart...
