But as that famous toy maker has been known to do in the past (remember the <a href="http://www.corvette1969.info/">1969 Corvette</a>?), Mattel was indeed working on a 1:18th scale model of a new, small Ferrari. As we know, however, it won't be called Dino.<br /><br />A Mattel insider and Autoblog fan has tipped us off that a 1:18 scale Hot Wheels <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/13/new-ferrari-california-exposed/">Ferrari California</a> will be available in "late 2008." With the official unveiling of the Ferrari California supposedly planned for the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/Paris-Motor-Show/">Paris Motor Show</a> in October, we might be able to take one for a, uh, small test drive before the car is even unveiled.<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/ferrari-california/low/">2009 Ferrari California</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/ferrari-california/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/07/0033-rt-california_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/ferrari-california/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/07/0032-rt-california_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/ferrari-california/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/07/0031-rt-california_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/ferrari-california/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/07/0030-rt-california_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/ferrari-california/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/07/0029-rt-california_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/20/official-mattel-will-offer-ferrari-dino-err-california-mode/">Official: Mattel will offer Ferrari Dino, err...
