Carrera Digital 132 Chevrolet Camaro 2007 "State Trooper"
Item No. 30979
This year's Carrera lineup includes another vehicle from the truck series: the armored car. What does this have to do with the new Chevrolet Camaro State Trooper?
Well, if you want to play "cops and robbers" or bank robbery on the racetrack, you obviously need a suitable police car. Carrera has plenty of "Fast and Furious"-style street racing cars in its range. Carrera has had quite a few police vehicles in its range over the years: the most recent release was the Lamborghini Huracan in 2018, and in 2008, there was already a Dodge Charger as a classic police car. There was also a Camaro, and the car with the sheriff's logo came onto the market in 2016.
The State Trooper differs fundamentally from the Chevy of the time, however, in its color scheme: while the Camaro of the time still had the classic American police car look of black and white, as they are actually used in the USA, the V8 is a so-called "State Trooper" in the typical blue color scheme. The "State Police" is therefore not the police of a county, but rather responsible for the entire state. Their duties include traffic enforcement. In some states, they are also called Highway Patrol, a term that is actually more widely known.
CARRERA's designer gave the car a beautiful skyline with mountains on the sides. If you look at the logo and the crest in the star, it's immediately clear what this means: Salzburg! While this doesn't quite fit with the "international mission" theme, the designer deserves this artistic license.
Visually, there's nothing wrong with the vehicle. It looks really good, and the roof lights up nicely. It handles like all the other Amys in this series: It's not a lightweight. But its slightly higher weight also makes it a very compliant vehicle. Thanks to the wide axle, it corners very well. There are more agile cars, but they have to be as easy to control as the Chevy. It's a racetrack car especially suitable for children and beginners, and it's very easy to control even without the two magnets. And it's always enough to catch the armored car mentioned at the beginning!
