Well we have seen the first offering from Scalextric for 2015 - I imagine we will need to wait for the toy fair to see what Carrera, slot.it Ninco and SCX have to offer to name a few of the many slot makers out there.

So what do we hope to see from the others..

From Carrera I would like to see:
1/32 versions of the 512s and Ferrari breadvan - that would be sweet

I would also like to see 1/24 versions of the Cobra

As for the others hmm - I would like to see Ninco put NC-1/NC-8 motors back in their classic cars (or at the least provide a short motor mount with the cars)

Can't really think of any cars I want to see - any I would like to see are generally too obscure to warrant mainstream production.

I do plan to get the Cartrix Scarab GP car and the Policar 70s F1 cars

Thanks for the tip on the new Cartrix. I hadn't heard of that before.

Everyone in the Carrera digital group that I race with echoes your call for a Cobra in 1/24 scale. Two guys even built their own from model kits- one on a Cheetah chassis and another on a breadvan chassis. They'd sell big here, but I don't know about Germany.

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth- er, I mean a D124 Lola T70 Mk3. (not a "B") I already have my teeth, so I guess I won't be getting that Lola any time soon, but it's nice to dream.

How about a digital 1/32 DeLorean from Carrera, both in plain guise and the various Back to the Future versions? (another that will never-happen, but I wish it would) But if it's easier, I'll settle for the Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters.

Well there are some interesting ideas here... what else do you want?

Dear Captain Carrera :occasion-xmas:







new GM license...existing mold...popular livery. Just gotta someday.

The favourite car I built in the 60s was a Ferrari 330 P4. I know Scalextric has made these in the past, but I don't know of anyone making them right now. To me these are the most beautiful vintage racing car.

Since Carrera has a licence to make Ferrari slot cars, I think one of these would be a good choice, and would probably sell well in any scale, but especially in 1/32.

In addition to the great stuff listed above - I would still love to see the '80's G-bodies!
If it were just started with the Buick's and Oldsmobiles, there would be a wide variety of racing liveries like the following:











Which could also have "street" release versions like:









Then it could also be expanded to cover the Pontiac Grand Prix and/or the Chevy Monte Carlo (which was more prevalent in the later 80's and had it's street Monte SS version as well) :D

:pray:

Oh that grand national!!!! That Chevelle!!!! But my first choice would be a 1967 fastback barracuda!! Yummy

that 57 Chevy is a treat - LIKED

I know NSR is killing it right now with GT3 releases, and I'm ultra pumped about the McLaren MP4-12C GT3, but I'd like to see their next new tool in 2015 to be a new classic.

Something along the lines of a Lotus 40 or Porsche 908/3 would be awesome.

Meanwhile, Slot-It has been doing great work with late 90's, early 2000's GT1/LMP era cars. I propose that their next tooling effort in that line practically begs to be either the amazing Riley & Scott MkIII or the pretty Lola B05/B06 pair. Lots of liveries and interesting cars.

Carrera just keep building excellent ready to run cars! Great ideas above, especially the ones that are a variant of existing molds. The cobra coupe looks great.

Personally, Porsche 908/3. I shortened my 917/30 to look like one, replaced the independent front end with a solid axle and really like it.

More Trans Am cars from Scalextric, more Can Ams from Carrera any new ones would be great.
I would also like to see Carrera do the new Viper in 1/32 and as long as we are wishing for cars, I think
the new Challenger Trans Am should be done.

Right now the only car on my wish list is for Carrera to release this livery in 1/32 and just keep doing a great with their GT cars.

Forgive me for jumping scale people, but this is the only wish list going. Dear Santa C(arrera) My Christmas wish is for a Go motor and gears parts package.

From anyone:
I still want my front motored Porsches' - 924 Carrera, 944, 928 variants.
80's Mazda RX-7 Daytona
Triumphs - TR 4,6,7 etc
all of these and/or
80's IMSA GTP cars

Again, I'm not picky about who produces them, just as long as they get produced.
