Slot Cars

Available Now

Scalextric VW Beetle Scalextric have released a new livery for the VW Beetle. This one is a recreation of a Historic Trans Am racer.

Scalextric Mercedes AMG GT3 Also from Scalextric this week, is a new Mercedes AMG GT3. The striking livery recreates the car which competed in the 2022 Gulf 12 Hours at Yas Marina, driven by Morgan Tillbrook, Mikaël Grenier, and Ian Loggie.

Scalextric Land Rover Scalextric have also released the ‘Poppy Red’ Land Rover. It appears to be a darker shade of red than the CAD drawings, and indeed the original vehicle, which is suspected to be a cancelled order for a fire tender. To my eyes it’s a nicer colour.

Revoslot Ferrari F40 The new Revoslot Ferraris are now available in the UK. There are four new liveries and a twin pack…
- RevoSlot Ferrari F40 No.7 MonteShell Campionato Italiano GT 1993
