Our take on the Scalextric Shelby Cobra 289 1:32 Slot Car

The Scalextric Shelby Cobra 289 is a 1:32 analog slot car modeled on the classic British-racing-green roadster. It runs on Scalextric track and, with its adjustable guide and pick-ups, on Carrera Evolution track too. Front and rear lights and Magnatraction magnets make it a good first car for home racers, though it is a scale model rather than a high-performance racer. Owners rate it around four out of five; most praise its looks and smooth running, while some find the lights dim and the bodywork fragile in crashes.

Questions and answers

Does it run on Carrera track?
Yes, on Carrera Evolution analog track. The adjustable guide and pick-ups let it fit the wider slot, but it will not work on digital Carrera systems without conversion.
Are the lights always on?
The front and rear lights come on when the car has power on the track. They are best seen in a dim room.
Is it digital or analog?
It is analog, so it runs on a standard two-lane powerbase. It cannot change lanes or run on a digital system as supplied.
What is in the box?
One 1:32 Shelby Cobra 289 slot car with its guide and pick-ups fitted. Track, powerbase and controller are not included.
Is it good for a beginner?
Yes. Magnatraction and Easy Change pick-ups make it forgiving and easy to maintain. It is a good first car for a home layout.

The Cobra is heavier and slower than a modern GT racer, but it is more detailed and easier to drive. Pick it for the classic look rather than lap times.
