Our take on the Scalextric AC Shelby Cobra 289 Le Mans #47 Bill Shepherd C4338 1/32 Scale Slot Car

This is a 1/32 scale slot car from Scalextric's AC Cobra range, modeled on the Shelby Cobra 289 that Bill Shepherd and Romain Dumas drove at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. It runs a Scalextric short-can motor in an inline, mid-engine layout with rear-wheel drive and a standard 9/27 gear ratio, and it carries front and rear lights. It is a ready-to-run car aimed at home racers and Cobra fans who want a period-correct sports car for their layout. Against Scalextric's modern GT and LMP cars it is a simpler, lower-grip classic, and it lacks the DPR digital plug, so going digital means a separate chip and soldering.

What reviewers say

Owners of Scalextric Cobras generally like the shape and the smooth inline motor, and treat them as fun classic runners rather than lap-record cars. The main complaints are the lack of a digital plug and the body roll that comes with the tall, narrow Cobra shell.
