Racers

If you're looking for the thrill of racing then Zoospeed's miniature racers will deliver. Their 1:2 scale Porsche 917-30 & 917-10 racers will fulfil your desire for speed. Inspired by the Porsche racing team of the early 1970's, these miniatures are powered by a gasoline motor which allows a top speed of 40mph, but that can also be restricted to 15mph for learning or safety purposes.

These sporty motors are fully functioning automobiles that can be driven by children aged 7-12 and still make a perfect centrepiece to any distinctive auto collection. Each car comes in a choice of a racing inspired paint scheme and has a full harness safety belt as standard equipment.

Tires are also available in wet weather pattern or racing slicks for road or track driving. Fast, stylish and fun, these powerful little race cars will exhilarate and electrify your senses.

Pricing starts at US $3,800 for the pedal version of the xk120 to US $12,000 for the gas powered racers. The electric Porsche 550 model sells for US $9,450 and the Speedster sells for US $10,300.

Typical MINI attention to detail delivers genuine go-kart driving dynamics, a key-less start, environmentally compatible power train, roll-over bar, wide rubber tyres, unlimited headroom and an adjustable seat and pedals. Door mirrors, front grille, headlamps and chrome bright work accurately recreate the cheeky charm of the road-going MINI Cabrio, while a chunky steering wheel, excellent ergonomics and sturdy design.
