Black Beauty …
if you’re thinking of a black horse right now, you’re not far off.
However, this isn’t about that cheesy TV series from the ’70s, but rather the latest version of a 1:32 scale classic from
The latest Ford Mustang GT has been redesigned to match the 1967 model year. The side air intakes, the grille, the Mustang emblem, the rear end, the lighting, and other details have been modified accordingly—it’s a “new model.”
The glossy black paint, the two bright red longitudinal stripes, and the white race numbers give the car a contemporary look; they make it look great on the track and ensure it’s easily recognizable.
The driver’s seat and sponsor decals are designed to match the 1960s style. The headlight seems a bit glaring (for a car from the ’60s) and also shines downward from the body toward the front tires. The taillights and brake lights are great and are certainly easily visible even on larger tracks.
The basic design—with a fairly tight steering angle, a fairly heavy weight, and the wedge-shaped underbody—which, depending on the viewing angle, does detract a bit from the car’s otherwise great looks—remains virtually unchanged and turns the car into a diva when driven at racing speeds… …fun to drive, but definitely tricky.
See you later,
