Test report from CoMod Carrera124 on the Carrera Evolution/DIGITAL 132 Ferari F10 "Fernando Alonso"
(27323/30516)
Technical data:
Weight (complete vehicle with magnets): 73 grams
Length including spoiler: 155 mm
Wheelbase: 98 mm
Track width (front axle): 58 mm
Track width (rear axle): 58 mm
Other: The vehicle has a continuous rigid axle at the front
Overview of the color and country variants:
In the version with starting number 8 (Fernando Alonso), the Ferrari F10 is delivered in analogue (item no. 27323) and digital (item no. 30516) versions.
A version with starting number 7 (Felipe Massa) was also produced especially for the Italian market, also in both analogue (item no. 27346) and digital (item no. 30544) versions.
Optics:
The model accurately recreates the characteristic basic shape of the Ferrari F10, particularly evident in the particularly sleek rear end and the streamlined front end. The bulge in the rear, necessary for the transmission, has been cleverly concealed by the matte black paint. Overall, the visual implementation is completely convincing.
Technology:
Technically, the Ferrari F10 is largely identical to its two previous rivals from Red Bull and McLaren: it uses the same generation of chassis with internal magnets that has been in use since 2009. As with the other F1 cars, it is powered by the flat-bottomed FF050 engine. This engine excels more in terms of revs than in torque.
The front axle construction of the Ferrari F10, however, is somewhat different - there is no independent wheel suspension, but rather a continuous rigid axle that is slightly suspended.
Driving behavior:
Contrary to my usual habits, I run the Formula cars with a full set of magnets. The low weight combined with the high-revving motor results in impressive acceleration and a top speed that's almost impossible to achieve on normal home tracks. There, it seems sensible to slightly reduce the maximum speed (digital version) or the driving voltage (analog version).
Thanks to the rigid front axle, the running noise is quiet and the handling is very stable. However, as soon as you enter a corner a little too fast and the magnetic effect breaks off, the little Ferrari is almost impossible to catch.
Conclusion:
The trio is complete – from now on, you can recreate the World Championship battle between Ferrari, Red Bull, and McLaren at home. Technically, the Ferrari has slightly better capabilities thanks to its front axle design, and all three car types are equally pleasing to the eye.
