CM's Lamborghini Jota SVR

I was lucky enough to get one of my favorite Lamborghinis in small scale a while back. When this car was offered for sale on a different board I hopped right on it especially since it will be very unlikely that I will be able to have the Kyosho version in my collection. Since I don't have the Kyosho version I can't really compare the accuracy of the two castings but what I gather from pics. They seem pretty close in comparison. Those that have one please confirm or deny my assessment.

Here is a couple of pics of the CM Jota, Kyosho Urraco Rally, Kyosho Murcielago R-GT and Tomica Limited Reventon. To show that it fits right in with the other higher end non-brand Lamborghinis

I have the same Jota, but in yellow. Definitely an impressive model.

That's a fantastic looking car. I only have one CM's model, a Subaru WRX and it is fantastic, I would love to get some of their Lamborghini's. Kyosho did two versions of the SVR. It was released as part of the Beads series, which is a higher quality than their later models. They then released it in their later series in one of the Lamborghini sets that they did. I don't have either but judging from pictures I think the CM's is much better than the later Kyosho. The Beads might be a little bit nicer but those are quite scarce and quite expensive. I do have the regular Jota by Kyosho and I can definitely say that yours is nicer.

That regular Jota by Kyosho looks pretty darn good if you ask me. Your right about the Beads collection anything. They are scarce and when they do pop up they have a hefty price tag for a 1/64 scale car.

The CM's models are awesome and very hard to get. :) I had several of the Subaru rally cars and really liked all the extra detail they added to the cars.

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!
I have too few CM's. And this is one I lack - congrats on the score!

Thank You for the comparison pics. That's awesome!

There are very few differences in the castings to really make a difference on preference. I am quite happy with the CM especially the cost difference between the 2.

I'd call it a toss up objectively, I see things I like better about both versions, but really they both look fantastic and for the price difference I think the CM's is definitely the winner.

definitely. When new, the Beads cost was around 4x the cost of CM's. In my case, i paid about the same for both, because the Beads was bought on discount, while CM's came from Ebay including shipping.
