Once upon a time… At the end of 2022, you could order it exclusively on mattelcreations as a Red Line Club member, and now it has finally arrived: the “KAWA-BUG-A”.

CMS, MiniGT, Tarmacworks, Kyosho Lancia Delta – A Racing Myth FEATURETTE
How it all started… The Lancia Delta S4 is one of the rare rally cars of the so-called Group B – and was even one of its most sophisticated examples. Although the era of Group B was extremely short, from 1982 to 1986, these four years were enough to anchor it forever in the annals of rallying. The reason is simple: the federations relaxed the regulations, suddenly almost everything was technically possible – and instead of 400 production cars, only 200 race cars were needed to be admitted to the WRC. For an evolution stage, i.e. an improvement of the car, you even needed only 20 production kits. CM Model…

CM Model McLaren P1 GTR – Tracktool FEATURETTE
Return of the GTR after 20 years… The first McLaren with the GTR designation was the McLaren F1 GTR, which won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1995.

The GTR version of the McLaren P1 is not road legal, but it doesn’t need to be. All the better, you don’t have to worry about road legality with a 1:64 scale CM model!

Tarmacworks Pagani Huayra R โ A revolutionary FEATURETTE
Beyond the limits! Another Pagani which is exclusively developed for the race track: With the Huayra R, the Italian sports car brand presents, in its own words, the “most extreme Pagani of all time”. Just like the Zonda R shown in 2009, the hardcore version of the Huayra is built only for the race track and comes with a completely newly developed engine, the Pagani V12-R. 850 hp and 750 Nm of maximum torque at a top speed while 9000 rpm meet a kerb weight of only 1050 kilos. The only components that have been taken over from the “normal” road-going Huayra are the exterior mirrors. Compared to the Huayra…

Hot Wheels 1982 Lamborghini Countach LP500S โ A MILESTONE FEATURETTE
Countach…a shout of excitement! An appropriate interpretation for the name of the Lamborghini Miura successor! The Countach broke all traditions with its aggressive and very angular design and was at the same time a symbolic design language figure of the 80ies! The hot outfit of the gull-winged flounder matched the driving performance even better: Even the very first LP400 model (1974-78) sprinted to 100 km/h in astonishing 5.4 seconds. A total number of 375 hp from a 4 litre V12 were absolute top values at that time! In 16 years of production, several model variations and performance upgrades were made until the final model called “25th Anniversary” has ended an…
