Carrera Evo "41 Willys Coupe Hotrod Supercharged Red

Denken Zoeken The Carrera "41 Willys Coupe Hotrod" (available in both Evolution and Digital 132 versions) is a detailed 1/32 scale slot car model, but its actual track performance is considered moderate rather than "high performance" by expert reviewers, largely due to its unique hot rod design and handling characteristics. Performance Characteristics The car's performance is significantly influenced by its design, which prioritizes a scale model appearance. Handling: According to a test report on the official Carrera website, the Willys Coupe can be driven easily on small to medium-sized home tracks. It tends to drift nicely when driven without traction magnets. Speed & Braking: The large diameter of the rear wheels results in a gear ratio that is considered too long by some testers, which impairs acceleration and braking performance. Grip: The tires offer moderate grip, which, along with the varying rear wheel diameters across different models, makes it difficult to race them competitively against other slot cars or even other versions of the same model. Steering: Reviewers suggest the steering keel tuning could be improved for better precision. Model Specifications The model is known for its high level of detail and is part of the 1:32 scale lineup. Scale: 1:32. Compatibility: Carrera Evolution models are analog but can be upgraded to Digital 132 with a separate decoder (e.g., Carrera decoder 26732). Features: It typically includes front (Xenon) and rear/brake lights. Model Numbers: Specific versions include the Carrera Evolution 27223 and 27267. In summary, while the car is a cool, detailed model for casual home racing and controlled drifting, it is not optimized for setting lap records or high-speed competitive racing due to its design constraints. The "High Performance" label is likely a descriptive name for the model style rather than an indicator of top-tier track performance compared to dedicated race cars.
