Our take on the Shelby Cobra 289

This is a 1/32 scale slot car of the Dragon Snake Cobra 289 that ran at the 2021 Goodwood Revival, built by Scalextric in its C4418 range. It is an analog car with front and rear lights, Magnatraction magnets and easy-change pickups, and it runs on standard analog track including Carrera Evolution. The real Dragon Snake was a drag-racing Cobra that Jordan Racing Team rebuilt into a circuit GT car, so the model stands out from the plain Cobra 289 releases. It suits slot racers who want a period GT car with lights for evening running, and collectors of Goodwood or Cobra liveries.

Best forSlot racers with analog 1/32 trackCobra and Shelby collectorsGoodwood Revival fansRacing after dark with working lights
Pros
  • Front and rear lights work on track
  • Magnatraction keeps it planted in corners
  • Easy-change pickups simplify maintenance
  • Distinct Dragon Snake Goodwood livery
  • Runs on Carrera Evolution analog track
Cons
  • Analog only, so digital layouts need a decoder
  • 1/32 scale limits it to slot track, not shelf display alone
  • Magnet traction can feel less realistic to purists
  • Lights add wiring that can be a service point
