" (Item No. 30640).
Let the pictures speak for themselves!

This is the team’s official trailer celebrating their victory at the 24-Hour Race in Dubai.
Writing a review about the BLACK FALCON team is bound to get
boring at some point .
Okay, it doesn’t. Because, to be honest, you’d naturally rather write a review about a winning car that looks great than about a clunker that, while
it looks great , ended up somewhere around 538th place.
And the SLS certainly looks great. You have to give the guys from Meuspath credit—they
really go all out when it comes to the aesthetics of their cars. So far, every one
of their cars has been a showstopper, both in its stock form and on the racetrack.
For me, that’s also one of the biggest selling points of the small-scale SLS models so far
: real race cars that
let you put together a decent starting grid on the track. And if you want, you can even get a safety car
to go with it. ;-)
As for the overall look, there’s
nothing to complain about (except for the issue with the sidepipes and the missing second flap). The printing is very cleanly executed. No imperfections
in the paint, no smudged colors, and the gap dimensions are clean and precise. When
driving, I recommend removing the side mirrors. Otherwise
, they’ll popoff on their own after afew laps because they stick out so far. Acceleration is
good, asexpected fromthis model, and so is the top speed.
It's no coincidence that the Mercedes Gullwing is currently one of the most popular
cars inCarrera the 132 lineup!
Best regards,
Lotus
