What is Carrera HYBRID?
With a choice of beginner and expert modes, there’s always an option to suit drivers of every experience level.
Carrera HYBRID is available from specialist retailers, various online retailers, and carrera-toys.com.
The Carrera HYBRID vehicles are made to a scale of 1:50.
Each set includes two officially licensed, true-to-life Porsche 911 GT3 R models in different cool paint finishes. The set also includes 4 high-speed straights, 10 thrilling curves, and a start/finish straight. They can be assembled in different configurations to make every race exciting and unique. The cars have built-in rechargeable batteries and come with compatible USB charging cables, so you can get started right away. The Carrera HYBRID app is available to download for free from Google Play and the Apple App Store.
There are several sets containing all the parts racers need. There is also a selection of interesting individual cars, track expansion sets called Track Packs, and other vehicle models.
The cars are controlled using an app, which can be downloaded free of charge from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Steering is intuitive: tilt your smartphone or use the touchscreen joysticks. On-screen buttons control the accelerator and brake. The app’s design is inspired by the cockpit of a real race car for a particularly natural driving experience. As they drive, the cars scan the track and the app knows exactly where they are. AI helps with steering, keeping the cars on the track and finding the ideal racing line. This assistance can be adjusted to different levels, from strong support for beginners to minimal support for experienced pros.
The HYBRID app also features engine, braking, and gear-shifting sounds while driving, which vary according to the vehicle and situation.
Carrera HYBRID combines AI-assisted, slotless cars with realistic driving behavior. The cars follow the ideal racing line and can drive both on the HYBRID track and freely on the floor.
Hybrid gaming combining racing simulation with real-world play.

Technical Questions About Vehicles
Vehicles can be repaired. Durability and ease of repair and maintenance characterize the Carrera HYBRID products.
Plastic is avoided in almost 100% of the packaging.
Connect the vehicle to the charger using the USB cable and disconnect it again after about 2 seconds. This resets the vehicle, allowing it to be switched on normally again.
Sunlight or daylight coming in from the side may reflect off the track beneath the vehicle and affect its infrared sensor.
The best way to store the track pieces is in their original box. To avoid scratching the track surface, place the track surfaces against each other whenever possible.
Usually, it is enough to push the vehicle diagonally across a textile surface, such as denim.
The best way to clean it is with a damp cloth and a small drop of dish soap. IMPORTANT: Before each use, remove dust from the track surface to minimize the amount of dust and lint that sticks to the tires.
The dimensions of the standard straight are: 25 × 43,3 cm
The radius of the standard curve is: 37,5 cm (measured at the center of the track)
Depending on the layout configuration, the dimensions of the standard track included in a set are 251 × 175 cm, with a track length of 609 cm
Yes, additional vehicle types will be available as early as 2025.
Yes, the spoiler and both side mirrors are removable and available as spare parts.
Each model of the same vehicle type has the same factory-set driving characteristics and handling. These can be individually adjusted using the various settings in the app.
The HYBRID vehicles are charged via USB-C on the underside.
A compatible charging cable is included in every vehicle package.
Technical Questions About the App
iOS: iOS 15.8.3 Android: Android 12
The number of participants who can take part in a race session together is technically limited to 16, the maximum number of participants on one Wi-Fi network. In free driving on the track, there is theoretically no fixed participant limit; however, no more than 30 vehicles are recommended.
Steering sensitivity for the vehicle can be reduced in the collection under INFO/CALIBRATION.
The steering sensitivity can be set higher for the vehicle in the collection, under INFO/CALIBRATION.
Google and Apple require this for system-related reasons when Bluetooth is used in the app. However, Carrera does not access or evaluate location data.
Bluetooth is used for communication between the smartphone or tablet and the vehicle. Wi-Fi is used for communication between the drivers’ smartphones for race management and analysis.
By completing tasks in the app, you can earn points that let you advance to the next rank. Each higher rank unlocks new tuning options, such as gears/brakes/tires/…
Just as in real life, every acceleration, braking maneuver, and turn affects the condition of the tires. Tires wear especially quickly if you take corners too fast and the AI has to intervene with emergency braking. This should be avoided.
This is planned for one of the upcoming app updates, but for now it can be achieved in principle using the following “hack”: Set Ghost Car’s driving assist to HIGH, place it on the track, and accelerate to the desired speed. Then put the app in the background/minimize it. The racer will now continue driving autonomously on the track. If it leaves the track, for example because it was pushed off, it will stop immediately.
