Our take on the Scalextric C4509 1:32 Gulf Shelby Cobra

The Scalextric C4509 is a 1:32 slot car: a Shelby Cobra 289 finished in the Gulf blue-and-orange livery, car number 90. It is a high-detail model with working front and rear lights, Magnatraction magnets for grip, and an Easy Change guide blade, and it runs on standard Scalextric track as well as ARC ONE, ARC AIR and ARC PRO digital systems. It suits collectors who want the Gulf look on the shelf and racers who want a quick, planted car for home layouts. Against plain-livery Scalextric Cobras it adds lights and the Gulf finish; against modern GT racers it is a lighter, simpler car with less downforce.

Questions and answers

Does it run on standard Scalextric track?
Yes. It is a 1:32 analog car and runs on any standard Scalextric Sport track. It also works with ARC ONE and ARC AIR.
Can I race it digitally?
Yes, but only after fitting the C7005 digital plug. The car ships without a chip installed, so it is analog out of the box.
What is in the box?
The car and two spare guide blades. No decal sheet and no digital plug are included.
Is it a good first slot car?
It is aimed at ages 8 and up and is easy to run, but the lights and fine detail make it better as a second car for someone who already has a set.
How does it compare with other Scalextric Cobras?
This version adds the Gulf livery and working lights. Plain-livery Cobras are the same basic chassis without those extras.
Do the lights work on analog power?
Yes, on powered track the lights come on. They need the track powered, so they go out when the car is off the rails.
