In the 1970, Carrera offered 1:24, 1:32 and 1:60 scales for slot cars, and the slot-free "Servo" systems which allowed cars to switch lanes, guided by the guard rails on the outside. Due to the many systems offered, and fewer customers (Generation), Neuhierl had to sell his company in 1985, and took his own life. The new owners sold rather cheap products.

2011 Porsche 918 RSR Concept


Cruising down the road nowadays, we see a lot of hybrid cars replacing old gas guzzling machines that used to speed down the streets. Porsche did something better by integrating new hybrid innovations into its latest offering, the 2011 Porsche 918 RSR Concept. Strapped into this cars' interior is a 563 horsepower V8 engine that is an improved combination of the RS Spyder race car and new hybrid technologies.

Harnessing an engine that can reach a total of 767 horsepower total should put any car aficionado in speed-induced heaven. With new concepts, combined with tried and tested mechanics engineered with this car, it is a marvel to behold. Who would've taught a Porsche could carry a hybrid engine? And giving a driving experience that would outperform conventional automobiles? This is truly a one of a kind car that would, in coming years, hopefully be adapted into modern sports car manufacturing as a standard to follow.
