Carrera's Hot Rods

An interesting Press Release to pass along from Carrera:

Carrera Exclusiv Custom Rods – do you dare to drive the
Hottest and Baddest Carrera Machines?

Nurnberg, Oktober 2006 --- If there is a vehicle that deserves a racetrack fit for a king, then it is the custom hot rod. And what a befitting introduction the custom hot rods will be getting in 2006, when they take to their very own 1:24 scale Carrera Exclusiv track. Authentically customised with their distinct chrome fittings, wheel extensions and extra racing features, these snarling kings of the roads cannot wait to burn some rubber on the Carrera racetrack. No wonder that Carrera has pulled all of the stops to make sure they feel at home in this awesome, new "Carrera Exclusiv Custom Rods" box set.

Motoring enthusiasts and custom car fans alike won't believe their eyes when they see the all-new slot car racetrack of over thirty feet in length. Specially equipped with extra wide power slide stripes, the king-sized track is now ready to take the biggest, meanest drifts a Carrera circuit has ever seen. To really crank up the hot rod action, the track's features include a spectacular flyover and two lane change sections for those critical custom car clashes. And, if that doesn't promise enough adrenalin, just wait and see the cars this 1:24 scale track has been built for.

Tearing up the tracks are two realistic hot rod vehicles, with a whole range of features that immerse pilots in the ultimate custom rod experience. Ultra-cool, high quality print designs and chrome fixtures all belong to these vehicles' unique features, just as much as the front and rear lighting and the excellent Carrera Exclusiv chassis system. The innovative tuning possibilities of Carrera Exclusiv has received praise from insiders and pilots alike, and also gives pilots a whole range of possibilities to customise their cars' racing performance so that they can pimp their rides, and their races.

Well I know I can't wait for these.
