The Real Car ... is an iconic 1:32 slotcar that was released in 2008 as an exclusive Scalextric Club Edition. The model is based on the car of the Aston Martin Racing team that won the GT1 class in 2007 during the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The true Aston Martin DBR9 #009 is one of the most successful and iconic GT racing cars in modern motorsport history. The car was built by Aston Martin Racing in partnership with Prodrive and dominated the GT1 class in the second half of the 2000s. Here are the key facts and achievements of this legendary monster: The Historical Victory (Le Mans 2007) The car with start number #009 made history during the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2007. The Drivers: The car was driven by the legendary trio David Brabham, Rickard Rydell and Darren Turner. The Performance: After a bloodcurdling fight in the pouring rain, the #009 defeated Corvette Racing's factory team. It was the first class victory for Aston Martin at Le Mans since 1959. The 'Weathered' Look: At the finish, the car was covered in rubber, mud and oil residue—exactly the dirty look Scalextric recreated on the C2965 model. Technical Specifications Among the iconic Gulf colors was pure racing technology: Motor: An atmospheric 6.0-litre V12 that produced a deep, recognizable whining sound. Power: Limits (due to regulations) to about 600 hp, with a torque of 700 Nm. Chassis: An ultra-lightweight construction of carbon fiber (carbon fiber) panels over an aluminum frame, with a total weight of exactly 1,100 kg. Top technology: Carbon fiber brakes and a sequential Xtrac six-speed gearbox. The Gulf Livery Although the DBR9 raced mainly in traditional British Racing Green in its first years (2005-2006), the team switched to the legendary light blue-orange colours of sponsor Gulf Oil in 2007 for the most important races. This design has become a modern classic. Today, the original DBR9 chassis (only about 10 were built as a factory car) are worth millions of euros. They are cherished by collectors and occasionally still in action during historic race weekends such as the Goodwood Festival of Speed or the Le Mans Classic

The car was built by McLaren Special Operations (MSO) (the brand's personalization department) in celebration of the renewed partnership between McLaren and Gulf Oil. What makes the real car so special? Fully hand-sprayed: No stickers have been used. The legendary baby blue and orange, in collaboration with paint partner AkzoNobel, is fully applied to the car by hand.

The interior features blue/orange stitching, Gulf logos embroidered on the headrests and a striking orange marking stripe on the 12-hour position of the carbon steering wheel. Exclusivity: The Gulf paint set was offered as a pepper-expensive factory package exclusively to a very select number of wealthy McLaren customers. Performance of the Monster Under the iconic Gulf paint, the technique is equal to the standard McLaren 720S: Engine: 4.0 liter Twin-Turbo V8 Power: 720 hp and 770 Nm of torque 0 to 100 km/h: In just 2.9 seconds Top speed: 341 km/h The Scalextric model (C4394) you were looking for is therefore an exact miniature copy of this exclusive hypercar for the public road.

Durability: Equipped with flexible rubber side mirrors and a flexible antenna to minimize damage during crashes The Real Car The real Ferrari 308 GTB Group 4 rally cars have a fascinating history, and the specific model that the Scalextric slot car is based on is the work of the Finnish masters of Mäkelä Auto-Tuning (MAT). Although Ferrari himself preferred the circuit at the time, the legendary Italian tuner Michelotto saw potential in the 308 GTB for rallying. With a blessing from the factory, they built a handful of high-performance Group 4 (and later Group B) rally samples between 1978 and 1985. The projects of Mäkelä Auto-Tuning (MAT) Mäkelä Auto-Tuning, based in Kannus (Finland), is known worldwide for their legendary, ultra-detailed restorations of historic racing and rally cars. They have transformed multiple Ferrari 308 GTBs into historic rally cars according to the exact, stringent FIA Group 4 specifications. Two of their best-known 308 GTB projects are: The 'Vetroresina' Group 4 (#25393): Based on an early and very rare 308 GTB with a body of fiberglass (vetroresina), which formed the perfect, lightweight base for a historic rally car. The Alitalia Tribute (#28817): A breathtaking 1980 308 GTB that was completely converted into Group 4 specifications and was shrouded in the iconic green-white-and-white-red Alitalia-livery (known from the Lancia Stratos). Technical specifications of the real Group 4 308 GTB If MAT rebuilds or restores a car, they go to extremes. The specifications of these Group 4 samples are impressive: The Engine: The atmospheric 2.927 cc V8 is being completely revised and tuned to a power output between 288 hp and 330 hp (depending on the carburetor or injection adjustment), with a whining speed that extends to well above 8,000 rpm. Weight reduction: By using wafer-thin fiberglass or Kevlar body panels, a stripped interior and aluminum components, the car weighs only about 950 to 980 kg. The Chassis: Wide, knocked-out wheel arches to accommodate thick Campagnolo rims with wide rally tires. In addition, it is equipped with a shorter, manual gearbox (dog ring), a mechanical locking differential, an adjustable brake balance and sturdy independent suspension to catch the blows on unpaved roads.

Although model car manufacturer AUTOart released the car at the time under the name "GT3R" (a type designation that Porsche used at the time for the more extreme endurance cars in the FIA GT classes), the Carrera Cup Asia drove entirely according to the official brand cup specifications of the 996 GT3 Cup at the time. Specifications of the real car Unlike a street car, this is a factory stripped race car, built directly by Porsche Motorsport in Weissach: Engine: A rear 3.6-litre water-cooled six-cylinder boxer engine (the legendary 'Mezger' engine). Power: Approximately 381 to 390 hp (depending on fuel and cup specifications in 2004). Weight: Only 1,150 kg. The car has no insulation, no airbags, no air conditioning or other luxury on board to keep the weight as low as possible. Transmission: A six-speed manual transmission that sends the power entirely to the rear wheels. Interior: Fully equipped for the circuit with a welded roll cage, a single bucket seat with a six-point belt and a built-in fire extinguishing system. Sponsor The striking brown-and-yellow color scheme is derived directly from the main sponsor of the time: A-Ha Coffee, a popular coffee chain in Asia at the time. This made Matthew Marsh's car one of the most recognizable appearances on circuits such as Sepang (Malaysia), Zhuhai (China) and Macau. With this car Marsh managed to drag into the coveted Asian title in 2004 after a nerve-wracking season.

The Scalextric Mirage GR8 #11 Gulf (article number C4443) is a popular 1:32 scale slotcar that mimics the historic winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1975. Driven by race legends Jacky Ickx and Derek Bell, this car drove into the iconic blue-orange Gulf Oil colors to victory at the time. Features Drive: Sidewinder engine layout (transversely placed) with rear-wheel drive. Motor: Scalextric Short Can. Gear ratio: 11/36. Lighting: Equipped with working headlights and taillights. Digitally prepared: DPR (Digital Plug Ready), which means that the car can easily be made digitally with a separate chip. The model has been released as a detailed Special Edition and is highly sought after by both collectors and active slotcar racers. The Real Car The real Mirage GR8 was powered by a Ford Cosworth V8 engine. The victory in 1975 marked the third and last time a car in the legendary Gulf colours took the overall victory over Le Mans. The real 1975 Gulf-Mirage GR8 is a legendary sport-prototype racing car. The car was specifically developed and optimized for one main goal: winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Features Chassis: An extremely rigid, riveted and glued aluminum monocoque with steel bulkheads. The body was made of lightweight fiberglass and designed by Len Bailey. Compared to its predecessor (the GR7), the GR8 had no less than 21% less air resistance. Engine: A 3.0-liter Ford Cosworth DFV V8 engine. This was a Formula 1 engine in the base. For the 24-hour race, the engine was tuned back to about 380 to 400 hp to improve reliability and fuel economy. Bearing part: Both the engine and the manual Hewland five-speed gearbox functioned as load-bearing parts of the chassis (stressed members). Weight: The car weighed empty only 756 kg. The legendary Le Mans weekend of 1975 The team of John Wyer (Gulf Research Racing Company) built only two copies of the GR8 (chassis 801 and chassis 802) at the time. Both cars were deployed during Le Mans in 1975: Chassis GR8/801 (The winner - car #11): Driven by Jacky Ickx and Derek Bell. Despite severe vibrations from the V8 engine that caused the engine mounts to tear at the end of the race, the car managed to reach the finish. They completed 336 laps and won the race with one lap lead over a Ligier JS2. Chassis GR8/802 (Number 3 - car #10): Driven by Vern Schuppan and Jean-Pierre Jaussaud. This car made the success complete by finishing third. The End of an Era The victory in 1975 was historic because main sponsor Gulf Oil decided to withdraw from endurance racing immediately after the race. With that, the Mirage GR8 was the very last car to take the overall victory over Le Mans in the classic, independent Gulf period. Both original chassis still exist and are worth millions of euros in the classic car world today

The Slotcar The Scale car Mercedes SLS AMG GT3 "Serengeti" is based on the iconic car with start number 3 of the Black Falcon team, which competed in the 24 Hours of the Nürburgring (VLN) in 2011 under the sponsorship of the Tanzanian Serengeti beer. Features Technical Specifications Chassis: RT2 chassis (in-line engine setup), which is also compatible with RT and RT2 engine mounts from Scaleauto and the latest engine mounts from Slot.it. Motor: Powerful SC-0026 in-line motor with 22,000 RPM and a torque of 318 g-cm. Gears: A 9x27 ratio with a brass pinion (motor zipper) and a nylon crown gear with aluminum hub. Adjustment and grip: The height of the front axle is convenient to adjust with the included adjusting screws. The car is equipped with two traction magnets (one front and one behind the engine). Details: Beautifully finished plastic rims and a sturdy, fully decorated spoiler (plus an extra display spoiler taped under the box). Compatibility This slotcar can be used directly ("Ready to Run") on all common analog 1:32 slot racetracks such as: Carrera (Evolution / Exclusive / Profi) Scalextric Ninco SCX Wooden racetracks The real car The real car behind this slotcar model is a special appearance from the endurance racing. It concerns the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 with starting number 3 of the renowned German racing team Black Falcon, who competed in the VLN championship at the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 2011. Here's the story and the technique behind the real racer: The "Serengeti" Connection The unique and striking livery (the stickering) of the car was sponsored by Serengeti Premium Lager, one of the best-known beer brands from Tanzania. The car was driven during the VLN races in 2011 by an international driver's rio: British/Tanzanian driver Vimal Mehta and Irish brothers Sean Paul Breslin and Sean Patrick Breslin. Technical Specifications of the Real SLS AMG GT3 The SLS AMG GT3 was the first official "Customer Racing" circuit sample developed entirely by Mercedes-AMG (in collaboration with HWA) for the international GT3 regulations. The Engine: Under the giant bonnet was a brutal, atmospheric 6.3-liter V8 (M159). Depending on the Restrictors that the FIA prescribed to equalize the cars (Balance of Performance), this block delivered between 540 hp and 600 hp. Transmission: Unlike the street car (which had a 7-speed double clutch), the GT3 version was given a hardcore 6-stage sequential racing gearbox operated with flippers at the wheel. Gullwing doors: Like the street version, the race car retained the iconic wing doors. This created a unique challenge when racing: if the car were to crash and land on its roof, the doors could not open. Therefore, the car was equipped with explosive bolts in the hinges, so that the doors could be blown out in their entirety in emergencies. Lightweight: By completely stripping the interior and using carbon fibre (carbon) frequently, the car weighed only 1,330 kg (over 400 kg lighter than the street version). The Heritage of Black Falcon Black Falcon was one of the leading teams at the Nürburgring with the SLS AMG GT3. While this particular #3 "Serengeti" car was a unique crowd favourite because of its exotic sponsor, the team with their other SLS chassis experienced unprecedented successes. For example, Black Falcon won the legendary 24 Hours of the Nürburgring in 2013, which marked the first-ever overall victory for Mercedes-Benz in that race
