Carrera Digital 124 Chevrolet Corvette C7R " Callaway Competition"
Item No. 23878
The CARBON Corvette
was founded by Reeves Callaway back in 1979. If you're unfamiliar with CALLAWAY, I recommend visiting the Connecticut-based guys' website (www.callawaycars.com) and then googling the vehicles in question. Some of them are truly awesome.
Callaway has made a name for itself in the USA primarily as a Corvette tuner.
The Carrera version of the Callaway Corvette C7 GT3-R with the number 26 was used by the CALLAWAY COMPETITION USA team with this livery in 2018, including in the Pirelli World Challenge in St. Petersburg and in COTA, Austin, Texas.
By the way, there is also a German CALLAWAY team, the Callaway Competition racing team in Leingarten near Heilbronn in Baden-Württemberg.
“Our Corvette GT3 is unique, just like every single one of your products.”
This slogan, among others, is used by the Swabian racing team on its website. Managing Director Ernst Wöhr's team will field only one brand: the Chevrolet Corvette (of course...). Callaway founder Reeves C. is fitting: "We're competing here in Germany with the only real race car in the USA." Callaway Germany is the longest-serving team in the ADAC GT Masters and has already won the driver and team classifications twice.
The German company also produces custom-made body elements for racing cars made entirely of carbon fiber. For example, the majority of the body of the current Corvette C7 GT3/R is a pure carbon solution.

Carrera Digital 132 Mclaren 720S GT3
Item No. 30893
Technical data:
Weight (complete vehicle with magnets): 103 grams
Weight (body): 34 grams
Length including spoiler: 148 mm
Wheelbase: 84 mm
Track width (front axle): 62 mm
Track width (rear axle): 62 mm
The model:
The McLaren 720S GT3 was probably one few people considered adding to the GT3 series. Two design variants will be available at launch: one in the classic McLaren orange livery, and one as a race car for the Compass Racing team.
The chassis follows familiar design principles. The E200 engine is mounted as an inline chassis, the front axle is continuous, and the total weight of 103 grams is just within the limits.
Overall, the model is true to the original and is wide and relatively flat, which means it easily fits in with the existing car types in terms of performance and thus represents a valuable addition to the GT3 starting field. Without the rear magnet, you gain a somewhat wider range of limits; overall, the McLaren is easy to control at all times and is free of treacherous surprises.

Weight (body): 36 grams
Length including spoiler: 160mm
Wheelbase: 81mm
Track width (front axle): 60mm
Track width (rear axle): 64mm
Test report:
This model has long been desired, if not demanded, in the club forum. Now it's finally here, at least in the smaller 1:32 scale. A similar vehicle was already available in the Uni and 124 ranges in the mid-1970s, but back then in the Jägermeister livery. In terms of authenticity, the current model pulls out all the stops: the snow shovel-like front spoiler, the angular wheel arch extensions, the protruding rear spoiler. It's no coincidence that the vehicle is affectionately called the "Batmobile" by fans. The not exactly circular shape of the rear wheel arches is also true to the original, and at the rear, you'll find the classic chrome-plated rear panel, which was often lost on the aforementioned Uni and 124 models over the decades.
Technology and driving behavior:
Technically, the chassis once again conforms to familiar and proven designs. Despite its relative size, the total weight of 103 grams is just within a manageable range. The front axle is continuous, and the headlights have a bit of trouble penetrating the blackened lens. The handling once again proves the old adage "length matters." Without the rear magnet, the cornering is wide and easily controllable, although in this case, the edges should be equipped with shoulders. Otherwise, the rear spoiler won't last long if it frequently comes into contact with the guardrails.
Conclusion:
Carrera has been competing in the German Racing Championship and related models from other racing series since 2003 and 2006, respectively. The BMW 3.5 CSL continues this tradition, as does the currently outstanding 935 K3. Visually, the model is very well-designed, and its performance also meets the well-known standards.

Carrera Digital 132 Carrera Truck " Tanker - Berchtesgadener Land"
Item No. 30889
When Carrera released the first tanker based on the existing truck chassis last year, we at CoMods suggested, among other things, in our test reports to the company that they also release a milk truck as a design variant alongside oil tankers. Didn't we think it would happen so quickly?
In front of me is a milk truck from the Bavarian dairy “Berchtesgadener Land”.
This makes me even more pleased, as the dairy is very well represented on supermarket shelves in our area, delivering excellent quality and particularly strong in the organic sector. Green is the company color (the organic section is blue), and the dark green is also beautifully reflected in the paintwork of the cab. Add to that the chrome-plated fuel tank with the company logo. The company's website can also be found on the body: https://bergbauernmilch.de/
The truck's play value as a classic racing vehicle is, of course, limited, but there are now several vehicles that can be used as opponents. My boys, for example, really like the trucks because they're different from the usual racing cars. Despite their considerable weight, the cars are fun to drive.
Best regards

Carrera Digital 124 Porsche 911 RSR (991) " 956 Design"
Item No. 23885
The Rothmans cigarette brand's livery became synonymous with many Porsche factory cars in the 1980s. Whether it was a 911 or the later Porsche 959 in international rallies or the 956/962 in the then Group C international endurance races, Porsche's image at that time was significantly shaped by the Rothmans design.
Porsche cars with the Rothmans livery won at Le Mans in 1982, 1983, 1986, and 1987. Jacky Ickx, Stefan Bellof, and Derek Bell won world championship titles with this sponsorship livery.
Even though the sponsor's name is no longer visible on the car, the design is easily recognizable and evokes memories of many great vehicles. Therefore, it's no surprise that Porsche created this design to commemorate "70 Years of Porsche Sports Cars" and sent it to Le Mans in 2018.
The paint job, with its wide white center section and dark blue side skirts, makes the Rothmanns Porsche appear slimmer than the Sau version. Ultimately, it's just as wide and fits well alongside another car of that width on the 124 Carrera track. Driving side by side around curves is a challenge, which will likely result in paint transfer – at least during testing, two of the new Porsches, as well as a Porsche and an SLS, were able to drive side by side quite well. Shoulder strips, normally a given in 1:24 scale vehicle operation, are mandatory for these cars – I would forego guardrails altogether as a precaution. However, thanks to its low center of gravity, the new 911 Porsche isn't quite as easily thrown off course. The relatively high total weight of 250 grams is distributed as 180 grams across the chassis and 70 grams across the body. The substructure for the driver's seat is installed relatively flat in the body, but could perhaps be lightened by a few grams at the rear.
The performance is comparable to the other wide GT cars in the 124 Carrera range (e.g., the Mercedes SLS). The old, sleek 911 GT from previous production runs—which, as is well known, was also delivered with liveries that originally belonged to the current model—is somewhat more agile, not least for weight reasons, but lacks the axle width and weighty robustness of the new GT 911 Porsche. Racing will show which model will be on the winner's podium more often.
The paintwork is expertly executed and the colors are clean. The prototypical decals are clean and crisp. The visible driver's seat is painted to mimic the original and is equipped with the HANS system.
The axles are in good condition and run smoothly. The tires have sufficient grip, but they should be briefly sanded on the track, slightly beveling the edges.
Demagnetized and with slightly sanded tires, the new 911 is a real joy on the track... I immediately felt at home. The car is smooth and easy to control, even in tight corners. The headlights and brake lights are quite bright and very visible when driving at night.
The only thing that's not quite as sturdy about the new 911 is the front. There's a printed plastic part in the middle that acts as a ventilation grille. I hope this will be available as a spare part. Otherwise, I'd just glue a metal grille in there after it breaks.
I'm looking forward to a wide range of variants of the new Porsche – there's already plenty to choose from.

Item No. 23886
Technical data:
Weight (complete vehicle with magnets): 250 grams
Weight (body): 70 grams
Length including spoiler: 202 mm
Wheelbase: 105.5 mm
Track width (front axle): 83 mm
Track width (rear axle): 83 mm
Model:
There was great surprise when the Porsche factory team competed at Le Mans 2018 with two retro-designed Porsche 911s. Carrera produced both models in 1:24 scale, resulting in very elaborate printing, especially in the case of the "Sau" and "Pink Pig." The historic model is the Porsche 917/20 from 1971, which remains a one-off and can be viewed in the Porsche Museum.
Technology:
Technically, the model adheres to familiar design principles. It weighs quite heavy at 250 grams, but is within the range of other GT cars. The motor drives the rear axle as usual, acting as a Sidewinder, and the holding magnets can be partially or completely removed as needed.
Driving test:
A positive aspect is the extremely smooth running and the very quiet transmission, something that hasn't been the case with all Digital 124 vehicles to date. The weight and dimensions result in a very solid roadholding, and the model rarely loses its composure.
On the other hand, the weight naturally takes its toll in terms of agility.

Carrera Digital 124 Audi RS5 DTM " Audi Sport Team Rosberg - Rene Rast"
Item No. 23883
After two rather unspectacular design variants of the Audi RS5 DTM appeared in large scale last year, this year it will be much more colorful.
First up is Rene Rast's company car, whose livery has changed from black to red. After winning the DTM title in 2017, he was able to keep the championship open in 2018 until the final race, finishing second overall.
We also have the car of Swiss driver Nico Müller, who has been active in the DTM for several years, in the green "Castrol" livery. He has consistently achieved excellent individual results, but hasn't played a significant role overall in past championships. This year, however, he is currently in second place overall (after the race weekend in Assen), behind the aforementioned Rene Rast.
Together with the recently released new designs of the Mercedes-AMG C63 DTM, there are now 10 different DTM cars on a large scale, and that in less than two years.
In magnetless operation, the Audis always ride a bit smoother than the Mercedes on my test track, even though their weight and dimensions are barely different. This can be used to compensate for driver advantages or disadvantages, ultimately making evenly matched races possible.

First up is Rene Rast's company car, whose livery has changed from black to red. After winning the DTM title in 2017, he was able to keep the championship open in 2018 until the final race, finishing second overall.
We also have the car of Swiss driver Nico Müller, who has been active in the DTM for several years, in the green "Castrol" livery. He has consistently achieved excellent individual results, but hasn't played a significant role overall in past championships. This year, however, he is currently in second place overall (after the race weekend in Assen), behind the aforementioned Rene Rast.
Together with the recently released new designs of the Mercedes-AMG C63 DTM, there are now 10 different DTM cars on a large scale, and that in less than two years.
In magnetless operation, the Audis always ride a bit smoother than the Mercedes on my test track, even though their weight and dimensions are barely different. This can be used to compensate for driver advantages or disadvantages, ultimately making evenly matched races possible.

Item No. 30880
The summer Audi festivities continue – following the two new large-scale models, the "Blue Wonder" in 1:32 scale is currently being delivered. Last year, it was a new model, and now it's already the fifth design variant. The choice fell on Robin Frijns' car in the striking blue ARAL livery, which was also used on some Carrera Universal 132 models in the 1970s. Frijns has been active in the DTM since 2018 and has attracted positive attention with several podium finishes.
Apart from the paintwork and printing, the model is identical to the first four versions, so the handling is also identical. It's very light-footed yet easy to control, allowing more or less drifting in the corners depending on the chosen magnet configuration.

Carrera Digital 132 Porsche 911 RSR (991) " Proton Competition"
Item No. 30908
Technical data:
Weight (complete vehicle with magnets): 108 grams
Weight (body): 35 grams
Length including spoiler: 150 mm
Wheelbase: 79 mm
Track width (front axle): 62 mm
Track width (rear axle): 62 mm
Overview of the color variants:
The Porsche 991 RSR is launching with three new designs, with the #99 being the first and certainly the most striking: metallic green combined with chrome and black rims. Wide and low with clearly visible sills, the model's form closely resembles the original.
Chassis:
The chassis follows the familiar and proven principle. At 108 grams, the model is by no means lightweight, with 73 grams of that being the chassis. As with the DTM models, the floor plate between the two axles is relatively narrow because the side skirts are part of the body.
What's unusual, however, is that the large lighting boards at the front and rear are omitted. Instead, the front LEDs are connected separately to the two outputs of the digital decoder, and a cable connects both LEDs at the rear.
Driving behavior:
As usual, I conduct the road test without the rear magnet. Even then, the magnetic holding force is still relatively high, stronger than in other GT cars with the same configuration. Thanks to the wide track, the car sits very securely on the track, and the driving noise remains pleasantly quiet. All in all, a significant improvement over the previous model in every respect.

Item No. 30875
Since the current, purple Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 with the item number 30875 is only a color variant of the road model that has been known for a few years, I will only write a few short lines.
The Lamborghini is one of the fastest small-scale vehicles on the market. With its wide track, wide tires, and the extremely low body, which makes it fast even when standing still, the Italian simply looks and drives aggressively.
The color scheme takes some getting used to, in my opinion, but my wife really likes it. If you're concerned about the potential originality: the Lambo is actually available for purchase (if you're looking for a full-size version, there's one listed on Autoscout right now, and it only costs around €210,000).
Pictures of the car can be found online. Personally, I prefer the version with the small Italian flag paint below the two doors, but the racing stripe version has something to it too, of course.
All in all, a racing car that stands out on the track simply because of its paintwork.
Best regards

Item No. 30882
After the other two DTM models, the Audi RS5 and the Mercedes-AMG C63, were updated last year with new models, everything remains the same for the BMW M4 DTM. Thus, this model – along with the other version, 30881 – represents design variants 7 and 8 of the base model. In terms of color, there is a certain risk of confusion with the "Joey Hand" version, 30739, from 2015, which, however, has been discontinued for some time.
As a result, the performance is comparable to the previously known versions. Like all other DTM models, this model also sits firmly on the track and offers good handling without any unpleasant surprises. As always, the cornering limit can be adjusted to suit personal taste using the magnets.

In front of me is the new BMW M4 DTM, item no. 30881, in a small scale.
The M4 in the classic BMW Motorsport colors is Marco Wittmann's car. Born in Fürth in 1989, he has competed in the German Touring Car Championship since 2013, and since 2014 he has worked continuously for the Reinhold Motorsport Team (RMG) in Andernach, Rhineland-Palatinate. He won the DTM overall with this team in 2014 and 2016. In 2018, Marco Wittmann competed for Team RMG alongside Timo Glock and Augusto Farfus. The three M4s were three of six cars that BMW Motorsport fielded in the DTM that year. The other three cars were fielded by Team RBM (Racing Bart Mampaey from Belgium). Wittmann finished fourth overall in 2018 with this car.

Carrera Digital 132 Lamborghini Huracan LP610-4 " CEA Safety Car"
Item No. 308736
Even though it is not the first safety car in the Carrera D132 series, the new Lambo has certainly managed to provide a positive surprise effect.
The vehicle itself is well known and tested - the Lambo runs - not just along, but well.
The Lambo appeared as a safety car in the Estintori livery – the simple white body base is decorated with red and green stripes running lengthwise. The red side stripes, in particular, create an even more squat and aggressive look, which, in my opinion, further enhances the vehicle.
The original was used in the 2017 Formula 1 series at the race in Monza.
Estintori is Italian and means "fire extinguisher" - well, the safety car should have some on board, but here it is the anniversary livery for the sponsor and fire extinguisher manufacturer CEA (1967-2017), which also runs the racing team CEA Squadra Corse.
The yellow-orange special signal on the roof initially looks relatively small and inconspicuous – then, as a surprise, it creates a truly impressive light on the track; in operation, it looks like a much larger flashing light. Even in the photo of the original, it looks like that – the model is very close to reality. Okay, the black windows – but honestly, I can live with them in 1:32 scale; after all, the dummy engine is clearly visible. The circuitry is as usual (flashing lights with/without vehicle lights, no sound – and I think that's fine – or just lights, or everything off).
The paintwork and printing – even the smallest details – are very well done. The axle and rim tolerances are correct, and the car runs well – so why not bring some lighting power to the track ;-)
Even the CEA Squadra Corse writes on its Facebook account “... Questa è bella come l'originale ... " (As beautiful as the original)

Carrera Digital 132 Ford GT Race Car " Time Twist"
Item No. 30873
The current 1:32 scale Ford GT Race Car, item number 30873, like most of its predecessors, has no real-life model. However, Ford did release a limited-edition model of the Ford GT in 2018: the Ford GT '67 Heritage Edition. The exterior design is based on the legendary Ford GT40 DM Mark IV, which the American team of Dan Gurney and AJ Foyt drove to victory at Le Mans in 1967.
The Carrera model, in turn, takes this limited-edition Ford as its model.
The exterior of the Ford GT Time Twist features a glossy Race Red exterior with white stripes. A Frozen White No. 1 graphic is featured on the hood and doors of the race car. Other highlights include the silver aluminum wheels with black wheel nuts, red brake calipers, and black rearview mirror caps. The tires feature the familiar CARRERA logo on the sides.
Otherwise, the Ford, like its predecessors, impresses with its excellent handling. Since it's a variant, there's nothing new to report on the technical side either.

Carrera Digital 124 Audi R8 LMS " Racing Police"
Item No. 23880
when things aren't going so well on the track ;-)
In front of me is the new Carrera 124 Audi R8LMS Racing Police. I'm not usually a big fan of police, fire engine, or other fantasy vehicles... but this one has something... the longer I look at it and play around with it, the more I like it.
There's not much to say about the actual base car, the Audi R8 LMS. It's been on the market for years and is a popular vehicle in Carrera 124 class GT races. Whether as a pace/chaos car or simply in the middle of the race grid, the new police R8 enriches the existing GT class vehicle lineup.
The basic color scheme of neon yellow and dark blue with white design elements comes across well and is therefore easily recognizable on the track. The paintwork is generally very well executed, with only a very faint greenish shimmer visible on a few small edges in the right light, probably due to production reasons—blue and yellow, after all.
The axles run smoothly and have sufficient play. The front axle turns very easily and remains running for a long time. The drive axle has sufficient play; the vehicle is powerful and runs quite quietly. The tires have good grip and sit neatly on the rims. The black-painted rims match the overall design.
The best thing, however, is that this model does not have the tinted windows typically found on vehicles with special signals. The extra effort of concealing the blue light wiring is rewarded by a suitably designed driver and interior, complete with a cage and fire extinguisher – if you wish for it long enough, it'll come true ;-) - keep it up.
The blue light can be switched on and off—as usual—with the front button of the trigger (all off, lights, lights + blue light, blue light alone). Carrera has dispensed with sound—to be honest—and I hope it stays that way, because any additional noise on the track wouldn't really be appropriate in the 124-piece scale.
Just-my-2-cents

Carrera Digital 124 Mercedes-AMG C63 DTM " Mercedes-AMG DTM Team HWA - Edoardo Mortara"
Item No. 23882
The most successful team in the history of the DTM
Perhaps the most visually stunning newcomer in the 124-speed sector this year is the red Mercedes of Edoardo Montara. In 2017 and 2018, the Swiss-born Italian drove for the HWA team.
The HWA team is based in Affalterbach and is part of the HWA Aktiengesellschaft.
On its website, the company advertises itself with the following sentence: “Automobile manufacturer, development partner, motorsport specialist, engineering expert, support service provider – behind the three letters HWA lie many facets.”
HWA was, and is, better known as the "Mercedes AMG Motor Sport DTM Team." Or simply AMG (AMG stands for Aufrecht and Melker Großasbach, the two names of the founders and the founder's birthplace).
AMG was founded in 1967, and its motorsport activities were transferred to HWA AG, founded by Hans Werner Aufrecht, in 1998.
HWA is the most successful team in the long history of the DTM. I quote from the DTM website: "Since its factory entry into the DTM in 1988, the Mercedes-AMG Motorsport DTM team has collected ten drivers' titles, 13 teams' titles, and six manufacturers' titles. During the same period, Mercedes-AMG Motorsport DTM drivers have won 181 races, including 104 one-two finishes. The team also coached five-time champion Bernd Schneider, the most successful DTM driver of all time." At the end of 2018, Mercedes officially withdrew from the DTM. HWA continues, and since 2019, HWA has been responsible for the development and racing of the Aston Martin Vantage DTM cars of the R-Motorsport team.
A few words about the model:
The AMG is almost identical to the original. Only two things differ slightly from the original: The color is difficult to match in production; in my opinion, it should be a bit more intense, or rather, a more brilliant red. The chrome vertical ribs in the radiator grille are missing. The tires have the authentic Hancock logo; at least there's a tire manufacturer here that hasn't had the model car manufacturers gild their logo. A special highlight is the superbly printed driver figure inside the car, a detail that unfortunately isn't visible during the race.

Pascal Wehrlein became the youngest-ever DTM champion in 2015, and his reward was a move to Formula 1. Despite inferior cars (Manor in 2016, Sauber in 2017), he scored points in both seasons and ultimately outperformed both his teammates and drivers from other renowned teams (e.g., McLaren and Toro Rosso). Despite these strong performances, he was unable to secure a Formula 1 seat in 2018, so he returned to the DTM with Mercedes for that one year. The design of his company car features striking details, such as the oversized starting number in the color scheme of the German flag, as well as the black side skirts and the colored rims.
In terms of technology and handling, the model is naturally identical to the previously released versions. It's no lightweight, but it's still long. Whether fully equipped with magnets or without them, the vehicle covers all options.

Item No. 23872
The bottom-seam bag is a universal bag type for a wide variety of applications. For storing and protecting food, as well as small and spare parts of all kinds. It protects against dust, dirt, and all weather influences. And what does this have to do with the latest BMW M1 on a large scale? The orange BMW M1 with starting number 80 that raced in the Procar series in Zandvoort, Belgium, in 1979?
Very easy:
The Quarto-based company ARVOR is the main sponsor of this BMW M1. For over 45 years, ARVOR has been synonymous with machines for the production of bottom-seam polyethylene bags. A quote from their website: "ARVOR began its operations in 1968 in France with the first "Orange" 868GL machine..." (hence the color of the BMW; some machines are still painted orange today).
In the 1980s, the Italians increasingly sponsor motorsports, and online you can find pictures of an orange Porsche 935 that competed in the 1980 24 Hours of Le Mans. Incidentally, the ARVOR competed for the BMW France team, driven by Jean-Louis Lafosse, and the car finished 10th.

Carrera Digital 124 BMW M1 Procar " Norisring 1981"
Item No. 23871
This model is the tenth design variant of the Digital 124 BMW M1. While the prototype car didn't achieve any particular success in racing, it did have a very prominent driver in Prince Leopold of Bavaria. And it has a connection to Carrera, as it appears several times in the 1981/82 catalog in photos of real-life racing scenes, usually alongside the Ford Capri Zakspeed "Nigrin." In this respect, almost 40 years later, the story has come full circle, as both models can now be driven on the Digital 124 track.
In terms of handling, the model fits seamlessly into the ranks of the BMW M1s released so far, which are the fastest full-scale cars on my – rather small – test track. At just under 200 grams, the M1 is one of the lightest D124 cars, which is clearly noticeable in its performance and handling. Whether with or without the holding magnets, the car always handles very briskly and is still very forgiving at the limit.

Carrera Digital 132 Chevrolet Dekon Monza " No 27"
Item No. 30905
The Chevrolet Dekon Monza is a relatively old model in the range, first appearing in 2008 in two analogue versions and since 2015 in further designs as both an analogue and a digital model.
The present variant in strong dark red metallic with the starting number 27 is a fantasy design, but is similar to the original which was sponsored by a well-known American beer producer with the starting numbers 19 and 20.
The metallic paint has a deep shine, appears somewhat garish and therefore fits well with a model whose original vehicle dates back to the 1970s.
Technically, the model still uses the older chassis generation, meaning the magnets are accessible without having to unscrew the body. Additional spacers are included in the spare parts compartment of the box, allowing the distance of the holding magnets from the road surface to be adjusted as desired. Removing the magnets is also easy. Furthermore, the model features front and rear lighting.
At 104 grams, the model is no lightweight and therefore doesn't promise record times on the track. However, the relatively thick tires provide good damping and, together with the weight, solid roadholding. When operated without the rear magnet, controllability at the limit is increased, as always, while lap times are somewhat slower overall. Overall, it's difficult to find a rival vehicle that matches this car not only visually but also technically. The most suitable options are, of course, the other design variants of the Dekon Monza, all of which are more suited to enthusiasts of racing cars outside the mainstream.
