Scalextric Jaguar XKRS

The ManicSlot Mini Review

Strengths:

• Impressive 'from the box' magnetic performance,
• High level of detail, (excellent internal dash and driver's cockpit)
• High level paint finish and decal detail
• Forced centring, quick change glide
• Fantastic looking wheel
• Rubber roof aerial

Weaknesses:

• The 1:1 Jaguar doesn't have lights and as a result the Scalestric model also doesn't have lights, (lights are stickers). This is not a weakness as such, however other Scalextric models do represent better value as they come standard with front and rear lights
• Rear wing is a little on the fragile side and my not survive a serious crash

Verdict:

The Jaguar XKRS is an impressive looking slot car particularly in the British racing green/silver livery. This is one of the fastest Scalextric cars on my Carrera layout achieving sub 6 second lap times. The XKRS is a fun slot car to drive and race, Scalextric have recently released a 4th livery so it looks like the XKRS will be available for some time.
