the Würth version, the second design variant of the “Liqui Moly Equipe”—often colloquially referred to as the “Nigrin Capri”—is now being shipped.
The original model was driven by Manfred Winkelhock during the 1981 season of the German Racing Championship (DRM). Normally, the front spoiler of the car featured a large “Nigrin” logo; two competitors have already produced slot car models in this design.
However, for the race at the Norisring, the design was modified—the classic Carreralogo is clearly visible on the front spoiler, the roof, and the rear side panels . At the time Carrera , Fürth and Nuremberg were still part of Bavaria, so the company’s management at the time decided on this one-time sponsorship for the “home race.” A pleasant side effect: Large-format images of the original vehicle were also used to great promotional effect in the 1981/82 main catalog. Thirty-five years later, we’ve come full circle.
Technically, the model naturally corresponds to the first version, though this time the tires offer noticeably better traction. While the Würth version with partial magnetization was a real tail-slider, this model—with the same setup—now drives much more smoothly and effectively.
