Not Trains! Shock Horror - My Other Love Slot Cars

Hi Folks,

Well here's the latest couple of cars I've added to my 1/32rd scale slot cars, from a mixture of manufacturers and covering various subjects as well.

First up we have a couple of movie cars;

Here's some pictures of 'KARR' the evil twin of 'KITT' from the classic 70's TV show Knight Rider...





Next up is the modern Batmobile from the movies, the cool one, not the damned "Tumbler" what a butt ugly sod was that one lol!  This car like the previously posted pictures of the Thunderbirds Pink Rolls Royce is big, I did put the model of KARR above it on a couple of pics to illustrate this, but its not as clear as I would have liked.  Fact is that it is probably a little bit bigger even than the Rolls Royce which in itself was huge.  Mind you both will soon be dwarfed by the new 2025 release that has been announced by Hornby/Scalextric which is a model of the Captain Scarlet SPV (Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle), this was a 10 wheeler with deployable caterpillar tracks on the rear.  This will also be accompanied by the Spectrum Patrol Car (SPC) also from the Captain Scarlet universe.  I'll add links to pictures of both of these at the bottom of this post...









Next we have the iconic Mustang from the John Wick movie franchise. a lovely depicted model in my opinion.





Finally a couple of more normal 'real world' cars, although all outstanding designs in my view which highlight just how good slot cars have got in recent years with the lift in quality and detail.

Firstly a Jaguar...





Followed by a beautiful Mercedes endurance racer, you just have to love the livery on this car, so detailed.







and Finally a Porsche endurance racer.









Lastly as mentioned above here's links to the Captain Scarlet releases due in Q4 2025, other 2025 movie releases include a whole slew of cars from the Fast & Furious francise including a full blown racing set as well as the individual cars.  It seems from what they are saying that these will be the first of potentially many releases for that franchise which if done right will look great and very colourful.  Although I doubt they will bother to recreate the under car 'neons', which will be a pity as it is possible to do this as I have a couple of cars from SCX that do have this feature - they were available under their 'tuner' range.
