Carrera 25208 LaFerrari set

Carrera 25208 LaFerrari set

6.73 x 5.81-feet

20.7-foot lap length

There was a unanimously positive reaction among the motorsport press at the unveiling ceremony of Ferrari’s first ever supersportscar to be powered by a hybrid engine can produce up to 963 hp, not only making it the Italians’ most powerful car, but also putting it way ahead of the competition in terms of design. This Carrera battle of the giants set with LaFerrari cars in yellow and red will allow the drivers to show who’s the fastest jockey in the stable. The LaFerrari is the only car in its class with a parallel hybrid engine without an external recharging option. On electricity alone it can only manage 5 km/h. What makes it so electrifying is that this powerboost optimises the whole power output of the 6.3-litre engine. Surplus energy from petrol combustion power is stored as electricity via the generator. This soaks up the extreme braking on the 20.7-foot double bend immediately. The question is, which driver can exploit these technical advances to his benefit?

Retro chic returns to the front

The Martini International Racing Team finished 7th and 9th at the 6-hour race at Watkins Glen Race Course.

Slot Classics CJ45 (was CJ54) 1952 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Coupe rtr—PRE-ORDER NOW!

Custom-made cast-resin body with etched-metal parts. Fully assembled with metal wheels.

This Mercedes-Benz 300SL coupe is a replica of a little-known Mercedes, the first car to use a hinge-forward pivoted panel on the rear deck to act as an air brake—the car was tested at the Hockenheim Ring track and at LeMans in 1952 but the panel did not work well enough and the car was not raced in this form. The air brake panel was developed and used very successfully on the 300SLR roadsters that raced at LeMans in 1955. A 300SL coupe number 22 with a green band around the nose did race at LeMans in 1952 but it retired in the ninth hour. Slot Classics produced replicas of 1952 LeMans-wining 300SL coupe number 21 about ten years ago but they are no longer available.
