Our take on the Scalextric Shelby Cobra 289

A 1:32 scale slot car of the Shelby Cobra 289, ready to run out of the box with no assembly. It is a diecast and plastic model built for Scalextric track and also listed as compatible with Carrera, so it can run on more than one system. The Cobra is a wide, low classic GT racer, and at roughly 17 cm long it is a display piece as much as a runner. It suits adult collectors and slot racers who want a recognizable 1960s sports car rather than a modern race prototype.

Questions and answers

Does it run on Carrera track?
It is listed as compatible with both Scalextric and Carrera track systems. Check the guide blade and pick-up shoe setup on your own track before running it.
Is it ready to run out of the box?
Yes. It comes fully assembled as a ready-to-run slot car. You still need a track, power base and controller to drive it.
What scale is it?
It is 1:32 scale, the standard size for Scalextric home track. It measures about 17 cm long, 6 cm wide and 5 cm tall.
Is it suitable for children?
It is aimed at adult collectors. Treat it as a display and hobby item rather than a toy for young children.
Does it come with track or a controller?
No. It is a single car. Track, power and controllers are sold separately as part of a set or starter kit.
Can it be used just for display?
Yes. The diecast and plastic body and classic Cobra shape make it a reasonable shelf or desk piece even if you never race it.
