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.

As an electric vehicle, the car is a very responsive and is easy to manipulate. The Smart Forspeed is an improvement from past Smart models that have already gained popularity in countries such as Italy, Spain and France.
The Forspeed model is equipped with an energy reserve that can provide an additional 5kW of power available for a short period. This can be used for overtaking in highways through a simple push on one of the buttons in the console. Fully charged, the automobile can run for 135 kilometers.
Combining sense and style, the Smart Forspeed Concept boasts of a very memorable design with its high-gloss metallic white exterior and rod-shaped LED’s throwing light to the outer rings of the vehicle.
