New Car: Slot.it Ferrari 512M Le Mans '71

 Sometimes a car comes out that you absolutely have to have....



The last Slot.it cars I bought were the two Chaparrals. I had gotten to a point that I had purchased everything from Slot.it's Classics collection that I wanted, and the next move was to look at other brands. While there was never a threat that I wouldn't go back, there didn't seem to be much happening to keep me looking around. 

Now this car steps up. I couldn't believe it when I saw it. Incredible detail, very nicely done, seems almost better made than the previous cars, if that's possible. 


Classic lines need more Ferrari race cars. I know there's that thing about Ferrari licensing being so expensive/impossible, but as this car shows, it's totally possible to release a car anyway, license or not. It hurts no one, and slot car fans benefit. This should be a popular seller for Slot.it, and I expect to be seeing this car everywhere. 




I'm curious to see just where this guy is going to end up in the results on my races. Traditionally, my Slot.it cars have all required a little bit extra in order to get up to the speed and performance levels of an NSR or Thunderslot car. I'm going to start it on its own with minimal tinkering and see the results. I suspect I might have to do a few things, maybe change tires or maybe add weight. Not sure yet, so it'll be a work in progress for awhile. If it comes out of the box fast, then that's great. Not saying this car is going to be slow...I really don't know that yet. 

I know one thing. This car is a BEAUTY.
