Test report from CoMod Carrera124 on the Carrera DIGITAL 124 Ferrari B99XX, Ferrari Racing Days "No.88" (Item No. 23772)
A modern Ferrari in a white dress?
Very unusual, something you don't see very often either in the wild or on the racetrack. The red vertical stripes break up the design somewhat, but the new color variant still catches the eye immediately. Especially when pitted against its red and dark blue brothers.
Although I'm not a huge fan of the Ferrari 599 XX, I like the design, even much better than that of the Digital 132 car (item no. 30608).
Technically, nothing has changed compared to the other two design variants. Unfortunately, this still means that the Ferrari carries a bit of excess weight. On the other hand, it sits quite firmly and docilely on the track. It takes a lot of deliberate action to throw it off a corner.
This is even more true when driving with the standard magnet system. Removing the rear magnet results in a more harmonious handling: the throttle response is wider, allowing for better correction of driving errors.
My personal favorite way to operate the 1:24 scale cars is to completely forgo the suspension magnets. Even with this setup, the tire grip is still sufficient, but the Ferrari doesn't reach the performance of a Porsche 911 GT3.
The most sensible way to drive the 599 is as part of a one-make cup – similar to how Ferrari handles its original vehicles.
Have fun!
