Short report by CoMod Carrera124 on the Carrera DIGITAL 132 Shelby Cobra 289, Limited Edition “Yello” (Art. No. 30655)
The musicians of Yello are veterans in the music business. Founded in the late 1970s, the duo achieved their biggest hit in 1988: "The Race." The song reached very high chart positions and has since become a real catchy tune and evergreen. You can find out where the song was used on TV on Wikipedia. My personal memory goes back to 2002, when the song was played at the finale of the Challenge Tour, creating the perfect atmosphere.
Let's turn to the car itself: the Shelby Cobra has been in the range since 2012, and its gray color scheme is rather understated. Eye-catchers are the voluminous sound system on the trunk lid and the band's figures in the cockpit. While Boris Blank grips the steering wheel, Dieter Meier stands in the seat, fittingly holding a wrench instead of a microphone. All of this increases the weight and center of gravity, and flat overpasses and underpasses should be approached with caution. This car isn't a race car in the true sense of the word, but that was to be expected.
The package is rounded off by the enclosed CD in a cardboard slipcase, which is located under the box and is held securely in place by the outer carton.
We're currently preparing an exclusive treat for the limited edition Carrera DIGITAL 132 Special Edition Yello. We'll reveal the secret before the launch in early December!
