Can I have a little more…?

I think the initial question about MORE can be answered with a resounding YES!

For me, the two 2009 SLRs were highlights in terms of both looks and handling. It's great that we're being surprised with two great color versions of this car in 2010.

So which one is the most beautiful?

Well, that's a matter of personal preference. If you put all four side by side, the decision becomes quite difficult. Personally, I like the No. 9 the best, with its flawless three-tone paint job. But, as we all know, that's purely a matter of taste!

Like its brothers, this new design immediately reveals the attention to detail (openwork side panels, tow hooks, suggested ventilation grilles, etc.). The analog version is delivered without lights, which isn't a problem, as it does help reduce the vehicle's weight.

The SLRs' handling is impressive right from the start, and it's great fun to see these cars in action on a multi-lane track. Given their superior looks and truly excellent handling, Carrera would be wise to release even more color variants.

Whether analogue or digital, these vehicles will certainly be among the “Top 10” again in 2010.
