These new VW's are easily Slot Car of The Year to me and one of the many reasons I feel Carrera continues to lead the way in our home racing hobby.
These bugs combine original thinking to be sure, great overall finish, and then the simple fact they run like the wind with only a tire change on wood? And try not to forget that even the digital only versions like this one are the same price, or even less expensive than a standard model from Scalextric these days. I sometimes see people complain about digital only versions, but when the price is like it is there is not much to complain about in my eyes.
This car arrived from Cincyslots a couple days ago. The finish is as good as it gets.
I just get a kick out of the fact the cars are fictional (to a degree) and that it doesn't matter at all to many of you. The feedback I have in my inbox says a lot about these models.
The artwork is appealing although a black and gold version should be done soon (ahem).
I know, some folks laugh and don't care for them. That's fine, we all have our taste. But these cars deliver a lot of fun for your hobby dollar. I like a scale model as much as the next person, but having these 2 models side by side on the track is nothing short of a great time racing.
Well done Carrera.
