Brief review by CoMod Carrera 124 of Carrera DIGITAL 132 the Shelby Cobra 289, Limited Edition “Yello” (Item No. 30655)
. The members of Yello are veterans of the music business. Formed in the late 1970s, the duo scored their biggest hit in 1988: “The Race.” The song reached very high positions on the charts and has since become a true earworm and evergreen. You can read on Wikipedia about all the places the song was featured on TV. My personal memory goes back to 2002, when the song was played during the Challenge Tour finale and set the perfect mood.
Let’s turn our attention to the car: the Shelby Cobra has been part of the lineup since 2012, and the gray color scheme is also rather understated. The eye-catchers are the massive sound system on the trunk lid and the figures of the band in the cockpit. While Boris Blank grips the steering wheel, Dieter Meier stands on the seat, fittingly holding a wrench instead of a microphone. All of this shifts the weight and center of gravity upward, so driving over or under low obstacles should be approached with caution. This vehicle didn’t turn out to be a race car in the true sense of the word, but that was to be expected.
The package is rounded out by the included CD in a cardboard sleeve; it’s located beneath the box and is held securely in place by the outer carton.
We’re currently preparing an exclusive treat related to the limited edition of theCarrera DIGITAL 132 “Sonderedition Yello.” We’ll reveal the secret before the release in early December!
