Carrera DIGITAL 132 Disney Cars Lightning McQueen and Cruz Ramirez Racing
Item No.: 20030806, 20030807
Cars
Carrera has had the licenses for the CARS movies for a few years now. In addition to the well-known basic sets in the small GO!!! scale, the cars are also available for the larger 132 scale.
The first two came out a few years ago, featuring the ever-popular hero Lightning McQueen, of course. His rival on the racetrack was the Italian Francesco Bernoulli, sporting a Formula 1 look, and the German Max Schnell, who was based on a DTM racer. At the beginning of this year, the Neon version of the likeable race car hit the market, also featuring the car from the second film.
With PIXAR film studios releasing their third feature film about the impetuous NASCAR race car this year, CARRERA has once again decided to release two 132s. This time, the cars are (unsurprisingly) our title character, Lightning McQueen, and the second car is the yellow NASCAR racer of young technician Cruz Ramirez, who is tasked with training our aging hero and teaching him the latest tricks of the racing world, as he's finding it increasingly difficult to keep up with the young, impetuous up-and-coming drivers. He still hasn't won the Piston Cup.
For the first time, we have two cars in 132 that can compete directly against each other. Both have the same chassis, the same suspension dimensions, and similar bodies, so the performance figures are roughly comparable. While the cars don't fit the usual racing car mold, they can certainly keep up with other cars from other racing series. Wide tires, the relatively short wheelbase, and a very wide chassis ensure acceptable performance. But what's even more important for the target audience: thanks to the body construction using few add-on parts, the cars are virtually indestructible in children's hands! And son can finally keep up with his dad's beloved DTM cars...
