As you can see from the real picture, (top) of the RS, Scalextric have done a fair job at reproducing the RS but there are some obvious differences especially in the nose area. Most obvious are the head lights and front grill.
This car will be fitted with what Scalextric is calling it's 'Easyfit Digital Plug' system for those of you running Scalextric digital. Rear mounted, in-line 18K Mabuchi FF motor, front and rear lights with non-graduated magnet in the rear.
The Scalextric Porsche RS Spyder
The Carrera Porsche RS Spyder
The chassis setup for this car looks amazingly like Scalextric's Lola which wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing as the Lola is a fine car to drive. Looking at the Carrera RS one can't help but think the Carrera RS looks better. For a start, the is the Carrera RS's wheels look far more true-to-life and so too does the model detail, things like the driver's helmet and refueling detail. I'm also not that keen on the huge space between the body and the tops of the wheels on the Scalextric model.
What's very exciting about this model is the massive ammount of potential liveries for such a young platform. As a massive LMP car fan, the RS is one slot I'm sure to add to my collection, but will it be Carrera or Scalextric?
Review to follow.
