Test report on the Carrera DIGITAL 124 Ferrari 458 Italia GT3 "AF Corse No.51"
Art. No. 20023804
In the range: 2014
Available from: End of August/beginning of September 2014
Finally a Ferrari on a large scale that also looks like a classic Ferrari.
The Ferrari, homologated in the GT3 class, races in various European racing series and meets Porsche 911 GT3, Mercedes SLS GT3, Aston-Martin, Audi R8 and a few more, such as the BMW Z4 GT3, which unfortunately has not yet been released as a 1:24 scale model, sparring partners.
A V8 engine with a displacement of approx. 4.5 liters and approx. 525 hp make the Ferrari quite competitive.
Optics: Red is of course the classic Ferrari color, but with the light blue decorative elements and the yellow screen in the windscreen, the vehicle looks really varied in terms of design. The Ferrari looks very good in the field of modern GT vehicles in 1:24. The front view with the narrow, elongated headlights and the striking indentation in the hood looks aggressive, especially in the front view, as befits a racing car.
The "extension" of the headlights towards the top, I assume a kind of
Design element with night-time recognition character, is a visual highlight. The not quite as large spoiler in plain black and the distance between the tires and
Wheel arches completes the positive picture. The paintwork and decals are flawless, even the indentation in the hood ... 1a. The driver's helmet and the rear engine imitation are detailed and realistic.
Technology: Actually all familiar components, even if the vehicle on it is new.
Front light is white, bright enough and does not shine inwards. The large, red-looking
Rear lights are slightly reflected in the paintwork or shine through very slightly. But visually okay. The tires have very good grip. The Ferrari has a rather thin lip at the front, which sits on the chassis. A tip from Ralph124: put slit black cable insulation on it. The one or other breakage when driving up
should be avoided. At the rear, the chassis has 2 flaps on the right and left at a 90 degree angle to the vehicle. Even if they are thinner than the chassis, and in the event of a break probably no crack goes into the chassis, the pure racer should at least consider using a Dremel.
Processing: I didn't notice any defects in the handling: Visually, as well as wheelbase and track width, the vehicle matches the SLS and R8. Magnets out, grease removed from the axle, a drop of oil .... and off to the races.
Conclusion: The Ferrari can certainly keep up even without the ground tires, the well-worn AudiR8 and Mercedes SLS are not really faster ... even though the red racer has become quite heavy. So we have an effective and competitive car in the GT pool .... Chapeau.
Great vehicle, I hope for more "colorful" variants. Have a look atGo ogle-
